I used to have this pastry in Florida. The coconut is great in the pastry. |
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh coconut meat
- 16 oz Puff pastry, frozen, ready-to-bake
- 2 medium eggs beaten
- 1/8 cup water
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350.
To assemble: Take thawed cold puff pastry (warning: don ’t leave this out for too long or you can ’t unfold it). Open each pastry packet up and cut each packet on the 3 seams lengthwise making three sections from each packet. Spread the coconut on half (3 sections) of the puff pastry and cover with the remaining three sections. You will have 3 complete strips when you are done. Mix the beaten eggs with 1 Tablespoon of water and brush on the top of the pastry. Bake in 350 oven for 30 minutes.
