Easy 3 ingredient dessert

My kids school restarted after a long long summer break.....and that means I am totally free for a few hours in a day. I like to take long long walks, try out new recipes, photograph stuff and best of all meet other "free" moms for a "kid-free" meet .... :) I may be exaggerating, but a "mom's time out"......without her kids is so relaxing. You do not even have to go out.....just get together at some place, have "chai" and chit-chat. I love these sessions and I am lucky to have found wonderful women to share this with in all the places, I have lived in.



Usually, morning after the kids leave for school works best and me and my friends decided to meet for a potluck brunch. It was an impromptu decision and yet all of them came up with lovely dishes.



For me, cooking something suddenly for anyone other than my kids is bit daunting ... all I make for breakfast is cold cereal, oatmeal or eggs. To cook something out of the blue, requires me to look at fridge 100 times and search google 500 times ..... :D and then I am inspired to cook!! So with all this search...the actual time for cooking is very less.... well, this recipe requires very less time to cook and is delicious.


Ingredients:

  • Puff pastry -- 1 sheet
  • Strawberries -- 7
  • Nutella -- 6 tsps (or more)
  • Powdered sugar -- 1 tsp (optional)
  • Cocoa powder -- 1 tsp (optional)
  • milk -- 1 tbsp (optional)





Recipe:

  • Thaw the puff pastry sheet on the kitchen counter for about 40 minutes.
  • Unroll, it on a flat surface and cut into squares or rectangles.
  • Pre heat the oven and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Put all the puff pastry squares on the sheet with about 1/2 inch space between each.

  • Brush the top of the pastry with milk.

  • Bake for 15 mins at 400 degrees F(about 200 degrees C )
  • Take them out and let it cool on the baking tray.

  • Chop the strawberries.

  • Spread about half teaspoon (or more) nutella on the baked pastry square.

  • Top it with chopped strawberries.

  • Drizzle cocoa powder or powdered sugar on top with the help of a sieve.

Quantity:

  • One sheet makes 12 pieces (1 inch by 2 inch)

Notes:

  • You can use any fruit available, raspberries, blueberries, kiwi, mango, banana or any combination of mixed fruit.
  • You can make a big fruit tart instead of individual pieces.
  • You can sprinkle cinnamon with sugar instead of cocoa.
  •  All pictures taken with my phone, as I made this along with the kids lunches and the morning rush of getting them ready.
