Puff Pastry Fig Pinwheels

"I was inspired by a blog to come up with this as I was interested in combining fresh figs and puff pastry (basically I was too lazy to make a crust) and I wanted to make a quick and easy dessert. My family loved it so I thought I would post it here. Keep in mind that the amounts are approximate and feel free to adjust them to your tastes. I had pistachios but almonds and walnuts can easily be used instead."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
  • Thaw puff pastry and brush with melted butter right to the edge of the pastry.
  • Sprinkle with dark brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Slice figs as thinly as possible and press into the pastry as evenly as you can. They will be quite soft and you can squish them a bit to spread them out as you want to avoid big chunks.
  • Sprinkle grated chocolate over the figs and the pistachios.
  • Carefully roll up the pastry from the narrow end and slice into around 12 pieces.
  • Be careful as the dough will be sticky and can fall apart. I managed to slice them into 1cm wide pieces and discarded the two end pieces.
  • Place on baking tray lined with paper or non-stick silicon baking mat.
  • Place tray near the bottom of the oven and cook for around 20 minutes keeping an eye on them so that they don't burn.
  • Note that the fresh figs caramelise into a jam which sticks to the tray so remove them carefully with a spatula when they have cooled slightly.
  • Serve with sweetened whipped cream.
