Preparation

At this point add the whipped cream a little at a time, gently so as not to let it go flat 10. Cover with plastic wrap 11 and place in the refrigerator to firm, and in the meantime make the the pastry. In the meantime, roll out the pastry 12

and cut with a knife into 16 equal parts 13. Brush the surface with melted butter 14 and sprinkle with granulated sugar 15, this way the pastry will remain crunchy when in contact with the cream.

Now slightly distance the rectangles so that they do not stick together and make holes in the dough with the tines of a fork 16 so that it does not swell too much during cooking. Cook in a ventilated oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for 10 minutes. Once cooked, remove 17 and let cool. Meanwhile, take the cream from the refrigerator 18.

Pour it into a pastry bag without a nozzle (19-20), then squeeze the cream on a puff pastry 21, so as to cover it completely.

Then close with another puff pastry 22 and sprinkle the surface with powdered sugar 23. The coffee puff pastry is ready to be served 24!
