Caramel & Fruit Puffs

This is a very simple yet elegant recipe & can be used when you guests coming over & want to impress them with your culinary skills .

Things you need :

1. Puff pastry sheets (you get frozen ones in the market, but you can also make the sheets at home, I have a recipe of it and once I try it will post it! )
2. A tin of condensed milk 
3. An assortment of fruits. (it could be a handful of your favorite ones)
4. Whipped cream
5. 1 beaten egg for wash

Method :

1. Firstly, you will have to prepare the caramel sauce out of your condensed milk tin. Place the tin(unopened) in a pressure cooker, with enough water to submerge the tin completely. Close the lid of the cooker & first cook on high flame for 30 mins and then medium flame for another 30 mins. Remove, cool completely before opening the tin.(Careful that the tin should be completely cooled down as you do not want the caramel sauce to pop out and burn you)
2. Next step is to bake the puffs. Before placing the puff sheets in the oven, brush generously with beaten egg. Bake till they are golden brown.
3. After the puffs have cooled down, spread the caramel sauce on the pastries, then place your fruits, and then finish off by decorating it with whipped cream.
4. Cool and serve, with the caramel 

So you see, simple yet delicious !
