🕒 Total Time: 35 minutes | 🍽 Servings: 6-8
🌟 Ingredients:
For the Pastry:
✅ 1 package puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)
For the Vanilla Cream Filling:
✅ 1 cup heavy cream
✅ ½ cup powdered sugar
✅ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
✅ ¼ cup milk
✅ 1 tablespoon cornstarch
✅ 1 tablespoon butter
👩🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Pastry:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut each sheet into 1-inch wide strips (you should get about 10-12 strips per sheet).
2️⃣ Make the Vanilla Cream Filling:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, cornstarch, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract over medium heat.
- Cook while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in butter and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
3️⃣ Assemble the Rolls:
- Spread a thin layer of the vanilla cream filling onto each pastry strip.
- Carefully roll up each strip and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
4️⃣ Bake the Rolls:
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed up and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
🍯 Serving Suggestions:
✨ Dust with extra powdered sugar for a delicate, bakery-style finish.
✨ Serve warm with a cup of coffee or tea.
✨ Drizzle with melted chocolate or a light vanilla glaze for added indulgence.
🔥 Tips for Perfect Vanilla Cream Rolls:
💡 Keep the puff pastry cold for best results—it will bake up flakier.
💡 If the filling thickens too much, whisk in a little extra milk to loosen it.
💡 For a crunchier texture, brush the rolls with a bit of egg wash before baking.
🥶 Storage & Make-Ahead Tips:
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Refrigerate for up to 5 days, and reheat in a low oven (300°F) for 5 minutes.
- Freeze unbaked rolls for up to 2 months—just bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
💖 Enjoy these soft, flaky, and creamy Vanilla Cream Rolls—perfect for any sweet tooth! 🥐🍦
