Puff Pastry Fig Pinwheels

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry (use a good brand, it really makes a difference)
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
• 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons pistachios (i used toasted ones which i then shelled and chopped)
• 2 tablespoons dark chocolate (around 30g grated)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 6 fresh figs

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius.
• 2 thaw puff pastry and brush with melted butter right to the edge of the pastry.
• 3 sprinkle with dark brown sugar and cinnamon.
• 4 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.
• 5 sprinkle grated chocolate over the figs and the pistachios.
• 6 carefully roll up the pastry from the narrow end and slice into around 12 pieces.
• 7 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.
• 8 place on baking tray lined with paper or non-stick silicon baking mat.
• 9 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.
• 10 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.
• 11 serve with sweetened whipped cream.
