COCONUT TURNOVERS



Coconut Turnovers image

These coconut turnovers are divine. When you eat one, you bite into flaky layers of buttery pastry. It's filled with a moist, sweet, caramelized coconut center. The turnovers have a tropical flare to them and would be delicious for breakfast, dessert or a sweet treat. No one will ever need to know how simple they are to prepare.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

TURNOVERS
2 bag(s) sweetened coconut, 7 oz. each
liquid sugar/simple syrup, 2 c water and 2 c sugar reduced to half
2 box all butter frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
egg wash
GLAZE
1 c powdered sugar
2-3 Tbsp milk (optional: you could add some coconut and/or vanilla extract to the glaze. You will have to adjust the consistency accordingly.)

Steps:

  • 1. Caramelize coconut and liquid sugar in pan. Cook about halfway before filling pastry sheets (about 3-5 minutes). Do not over cook (you want the color to slightly change but not brown; the coconut should be sticky). Make sure the coconut is still wet and does not dry out.
  • 2. Unroll the thawed pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface, one at a time, and gently flatten creases with a rolling pin.
  • 3. With a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 4 even squares. You should have 4 per sheet of dough.
  • 4. Place 2 Tbsp of coconut mixture into the center of each square.
  • 5. Seal on one side with some water.
  • 6. Then fold in half to form a triangle and crimp the edges with a fork to close.
  • 7. Brush the top of the turnover with the egg wash.
  • 8. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
  • 9. To make the glaze, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2-3 Tbsp of milk in a bowl, adding the milk 1 Tbsp at a time until you have reached the thickness you want.
  • 10. Once the turnovers completely cool, drizzle the glaze over them.

  • Mix the flour and salt, then cut in the cold butter until you have a breadcrumb-like consistency.
  • Combine the wet ingredients with the dry, mixing to form a dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured board and knead gently for 1-2 minutes.
  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, leave somewhere warm and let rise for about 1 hour (the dough should double in size).
  • Combine the filling ingredients in a bowl, stirring well so that the sugar begins to dissolve and the mixture is moist. Set aside.
  • Punch down the risen dough and lightly knead it for half a minute. Cut the dough into equal pieces. With each piece, roll into a 3-inch circle, place a heaping tablespoon of the filling in the centre; spread the filling out to ½-inch from the edges.
  • Place each turnover on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side down. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Brush turnovers with sugar water and sprinkle with brown sugar, then place in an oven preheated to 350F. After 18 minutes, brush again with sugar water, sprinkle with more brown sugar, and allow to bake for another 2-3 minutes.
