   • Start by soaking the unsweetened coconut in water for about 1 hour to rehydrate it.
   • After soaking, drain excess water from the coconut and mix it with the remaining filling ingredients in a bowl. Ensure everything is evenly combined.

2. Prepare Pastry:

   • Thaw the frozen puff pastry according to the package instructions.
   • Roll out the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/4 inch thick.
   • Use a round cutter to cut the pastry into 3-inch circles. You can also use a glass if you don’t have a cutter.

3. Fill the Samosas:

   • Place about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the prepared filling mixture onto the center of each pastry circle.
   • Moisten the edges of the pastry circles with water using your fingertip or a brush. This will help seal the samosas.

4. Shape and Seal:

   • Fold the pastry circles over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
   • Press the edges firmly together and use a fork to crimp and seal the edges. This ensures the filling stays inside during baking.

5. Chill the Samosas:

   • Arrange the prepared samosas on a lightly greased baking sheet.
   • Cover them loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour. Chilling helps the pastry firm up and keeps its shape during baking.

6. Preheat the Oven:

   • While the samosas are chilling, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Make sure the oven rack is in the center position.

7. Bake:

   • Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap from the samosas.
   • Beat the egg in a small bowl to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the samosas with the egg wash. This gives them a beautiful golden color when baked.
   • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the samosas are golden brown and crispy.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once baked, remove the samosas from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
   • Transfer them to a serving platter and serve warm or at room temperature.
   • These dessert samosas are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Notes:

• Recipe Yield: The number of samosas you get will depend on how thick you roll the pastry and how much filling you use for each.
• Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite dried fruits, nuts, or spices.
• These samosas are perfect for dessert or as a sweet snack any time of the day. Enjoy! 🥳
