Pudding Schnecken
Ingredients:
– 1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed
– 1 cup vanilla pudding (homemade or store-bought)
– 1/2 cup raisins
– 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 cup melted butter
– Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, chopped walnuts, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry and gently roll it out into a rectangle, about 12×10 inches.
4. Spread the vanilla pudding evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the raisins over the pudding, followed by the brown sugar-walnut mixture.
5. Starting from one long side, roll the pastry into a tight log, similar to a cinnamon roll. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1-inch slices.
6. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart. Brush the tops with melted butter.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the Pudding Schnecken are golden brown and puffed up.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
