Fast Desserts Recipes - Tropical Mango Turnovers

Ingredients

  • 410 g can mangoes in light syrup, drained well and finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup (25 g) flaked almonds

  • large pinch ground cinnamon

  • 2 tablespoons demerara sugar

  • 2 sheets ready-rolled puff pastry

  • 8 teaspoons ready­made custard

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

  • milk, to brush

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to hot 220°C (425°F/ Gas 7). Lightly grease two baking trays. Pat the mango dry with paper towels and place in a bowl with the flaked almonds, cinnamon and half the sugar

  2. Cut the pastry sheets into quarters on the diagonal to make eight triangles. Place one eighth of the mango filling in the centre of each triangle, then top with 1 teaspoon custard.

  3. Brush the edges with egg, fold in half and use a fork to seal the edges. Brush the pastry with a little milk and sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Place on the prepared trays and bake for 10 minutes, or until puffed and golden.

  4. Serve each person two turnovers with mango ice cream, if desired.

Note: If fresh mangoes are in season, finely chop 2 mangoes and use them instead of the canned mangoes.
