- After soaking, drain excess water from the coconut and mix it with the remaining filling ingredients in a bowl. Ensure everything is evenly combined.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Preheat the Oven:
- While the samosas are chilling, preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Make sure the oven rack is in the center position.
-
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.
-
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! π₯³
