Ingredients

Cinnamon Twists

  • 1  sheet puff pastry
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 egg for egg wash

Pear Mascarpone Dip

  • 1 pear
  • 125 g mascarpone cheese
  • 30 g icing sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Cinnamon Twists

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C or 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine together the sugar and the cinnamon.
  • Open the puff pastry, brush with the melted butter and dust 3/4 of the cinnamon sugar. Cut 14 equal stripes lengthwise.
  • Twist each strip on itself to create long twists.
  • Place the twisted dough on the baking tray and brush with egg wash. Sprinkle over the remaining cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake for around 15 minutes or once they have a nice golden brown colour. Take them out and let them cool slightly.

Pear Mascarpone Dip

  • Peel the pearl, boil or steam for about 15 minutes. Mash the pear into a purée without any chunks.
  • To the pear, add the other ingredients, mix well until all the ingredients are combined and you have a luscious dip.
  • Serve this dip with the cinnamon twists!
