Cream-Filled Pastry Rolls Recipe

Ingredients

For the Pastry:

• Pastel Dough: Pre-made dough sheets for frying (or use homemade equivalent)
• Oil for Frying: Enough to submerge the rolls
• Paper Towels: For absorbing excess oil

For the Filling:

• Condensed Milk: 1 can (395 g / 14 oz)
• Cream: 1 can (200 g / 7 oz)
• Cream Cheese: 200 g (7 oz), softened

For Finishing:

• Confectioner’s Sugar: For dusting on top

Yield: About 20-24 rolls
Total Time: 45 minutes

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Pastry Rolls

1. Cut the Dough: Cut the pastel dough into rectangles, approximately 10 cm x 7 cm (4 inches x 3 inches).
2. Wrap Around Molds: Wrap each rectangle of dough around a metal cannoli tube or similar mold, overlapping the edges slightly. Seal the edges lightly with a bit of water to ensure the dough sticks together while frying.
3. Heat the Oil: Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot to about 180°C (350°F).
4. Fry the Pastry: Carefully lower the dough-wrapped tubes into the hot oil. Fry until the dough is golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Drain the Rolls: Remove the rolls from the oil and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Let the pastry rolls cool completely before gently removing them from the molds.

2. Make the Filling

1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine 1 can of condensed milk, 1 can of cream, and 200 g of softened cream cheese.
2. Mix Until Smooth: Use a hand mixer or a whisk to mix the ingredients until smooth and fully integrated. The filling should be creamy and thick.

3. Assemble the Pastry Rolls

1. Fill the Piping Bag: Once the pastry tubes are completely cool, fill a piping bag fitted with a medium round nozzle with the prepared cream filling.
2. Fill the Rolls: Pipe the cream filling into both ends of each pastry roll, ensuring they are filled completely. Be gentle to avoid breaking the delicate pastry.

4. Finishing Touch

1. Dust with Sugar: Just before serving, dust the filled rolls with confectioner’s sugar for a beautiful presentation and a touch of sweetness.
2. Serve: Serve the cream-filled pastry rolls immediately for the best taste and texture. They’re perfect as a dessert, snack, or treat for any occasion!

Tips for Perfect Cream-Filled Pastry Rolls
