Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 3 tbsps. 3 tablespoons caramel topping
  • 3 tbsps. 3 tablespoons blanched sliced almonds or coconut

Caramel Topping:

  • 1.6 ounces water
  • 4 ounces Granulated white sugar
  • 2.64 ounces heavy cream

Instructions

  • Thaw pastry sheet at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Caramel Topping.

  • Pour water in a deep heavy-bottomed stainless-steel  saucepan.  Add the sugar and whish lightly with a fork. Heat mixture over medium heat. Do not stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely. As the sugar melts it will begin to caramelize. It will have a honey colour. Swirl the pan to redistribute the liquid. Remove from the heat and quickly and carefully add the heavy cream.  Remove and place in a heat-resistant container.

  • Bake 10 minutes or until golden. Remove from baking sheet and cool on wire rack.
