Note: This is the preparation of puff pastry. The first step is to make the puff pastry.

Preparation for Mango Diamond Pastry

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Thaw the puff pastry sheets slightly, so that there is an even thickness. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each piece of paper into diamonds. The easiest method to do is to make the diagonal cuts then cut them diagonally in the other direction.

Arrange Mango diamonds Pastry on tray, with space in between as pastry puff will spread in baking.

Step 2: In a small bowl, beat the egg and milk together and use as an egg wash. Sprinkle a little of the mixture on top of each pastry. This aids in giving a lustered golden color when baking.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until pastries are puffed and dark golden brown. Take from oven and allow to cool entirely on a wire rack. When cool, carefully cut each piece of pastry horizontally into two thin ones with a serrated knife.

Step 3: Filling the Almond Dough in the halves.

Remove the skins and cubes the ripe mangoes. Puree half the mangoes to a puree, and reserve the rest diced mangoes for texture and garnish.

In a chilled mixing bowl, beat heavy cream until soft peaks are formed. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice and mango puree until smooth and creamy.

Carefully fold in the whipped cream to the mango cream cheese mixture. Don’t over-mix as you don’t want the filling to be heavy. Lastly, add a few diced mango chunks to add a refreshing burst of flavors.

The filling should be sufficiently thick to be piped or spread without running.

Here are some ideas on how to make the Mango Diamond Pastry

 Choose Sweet Mangoes: The flavour of mango is greatly influenced by the quality of the mangoes. Alphonso, Ataulfo or Kesar mangoes are most suitable to use as they have sweet flavors, are fragrant and less fibrous in nature.

Keep Everything Cold: The coldest place to rise puff pastry is in the fridge. If pastry is soft when preparing put in fridge for 10 minutes before baking.

Do Not Overfill: However, it is tempting to put a great deal of cream into the filling, but if too much cream is put in it will be unstable and difficult to eat neatly.

Use Fresh Cream: That bakery texture will be added to dessert with the freshly whipped cream. Avoid canned whipped cream as it may be artificial tasting, prefer fresh whipped cream.

Add Texture: A texture contrast of pistachios, almonds or toasted coconut flakes to the creamy filling and flaky pastry is nice.

Serving Suggestions

• Hot tea
• Iced coffee
• Mango milkshake
• Vanilla ice cream
• Sparkling fruit drinks

To serve special meals, display the pastries on a fancy platter, and decorate with edible flowers or gold leaf for a lavish effect.

If you have pre-planned for Mango Diamond Pastry:

• Make the pastry layers 24 hours in advance of baking.
