Wild Blueberry Pinwheels Recipes

BLUEBERRY DANISH PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit (200° Celsius).
• In a bowl, mix ricotta with jam and set aside.
• Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut puff pastry sheet into same size squares (about 3-inch/8-centimeter wide).
• Take one square and make diagonal cuts in all 4 corners (check my photos or video if needed), about 1-inch (2.5-centimeters) long toward the center. Repeat with all squares.
• Spoon about a heaped teaspoon of ricotta mixture in the center of each puff pastry square. Take one corner of the square and fold it towards the center. Repeat with every other corner/tip to form a pinwheel shape. Secure the center with a blueberry by pressing it down.
• Repeat with the rest of them. When ready, transfer them onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Reduce the oven temperature to 370° Fahrenheit (190° Celsius) and bake them for about 12 minutes or until they are puffed and browned.
• Let them cool down before dusting them with powdered sugar.
• Enjoy!
