Ingredients

  • ½ sheet puff pastry (can also use ready-baked)
  • 2 tablespoon raisins
  • 2 tablespoon coconut flakes
  • 2 tablespoon pistachios roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoon walnuts roughly chopped
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream double cream
  • 3 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
  • teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • If cooking pastry from raw dough, prepare the pastry according to package instructions - generally put it on a lightly oiled baking sheet/tray and bake for 15 minutes at 400F/200C. Remove from oven and allow to cool enough to handle - you can do this ahead of time.
  • Preheat oven to 400F/200C (if not already on for pastry).
  • Break up the pastry into roughly bite-size pieces. Put the pieces in a baking dish (approx 8x6in/20x15cm) and sprinkle over the raisins, coconut, pistachio and walnut pieces.
  • Mix together the milk, cream, condensed milk and cinnamon. Pour the mixture over the pastry and nut mixture. Try to press the pastry down in to the liquid a little, or else toss the pieces so most if not all take in some of the liquid.
  • Bake for approximately 15 minutes until the liquid is bubbling up slightly and the top is gently brown. You can eat this both warm or cooled.
