Barbecued berry puff pastry parcels

STEP BY STEP

Let's make something delicious.

1. 01

   Preheat the barbecue with a baking stone in place. Meanwhile, unroll the puff pastry and cut it into 8 equal squares. On half of the pastry squares, cut diagonally from two corners towards the opposite corners, leaving approx. 2 cm uncut at each corner. The cross-shaped cuts create four triangles. Fold the tips of the triangles outwards from the centre towards the pastry edges to create an opening in the middle.

2. 02

   For the filling, mix the quark and cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Split the vanilla pod lengthways and scrape out the seeds. Stir the vanilla seeds, cardamom and maple syrup evenly into the quark mixture. Rinse the berries under cold water and leave to drain.

3. 03

   Place 1 tbsp of the quark mixture in the centre of each uncut pastry square and spread it into a circle with a teaspoon, leaving a border of approx. 2 cm. Place one pastry square with its triangles folded outwards on top of each filled square, aligning the edges, then press the edges together with a fork. Arrange the mixed berries over the exposed quark filling and press them gently into it.

4. 04

   Place the prepared puff pastry parcels on the preheated baking stone and cook over indirect heat (180 °C) with the barbecue lid closed for 5–6 minutes.

5. 05

   Meanwhile, wash the mint for the garnish, shake dry and pick the leaves from the stems. Dust the puff pastry parcels with icing sugar, garnish with mint leaves and serve.
