Coconut and Almond Puff Pastry Rolls
These coconut and almond puff pastry rolls are quick, simple and lightly sweet — perfect for breakfast, brunch or afternoon tea. Made with ready-rolled puff pastry, they take very little time to prepare and bake into crisp, golden spirals with a soft coconut filling.
The combination of coconut, almonds and a touch of lime gives them a fresh flavour that isn’t overly sweet. They’re ideal when you want a homemade treat without much effort. This recipe can easily be made vegan by using plant-based puff pastry, and gluten-free puff pastry works just as well.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the desiccated coconut, ground almonds, coconut sugar, lime juice and coconut cream to form a soft, spreadable filling. Add a little more coconut cream if needed.
- Unroll the puff pastry onto a clean, flat surface and spread the filling evenly over the pastry.
- Roll the pastry up tightly into a long log, starting from one of the long sides.
- Cut the roll into slices about 2 cm thick.
- Place the slices on the prepared baking tray with the cut side facing upwards. If you like, sprinkle a little extra coconut sugar on top for a slightly caramelised finish.
- Bake for about 12 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- Alternatively, bake them in an air fryer for about 10 minutes.
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.
