This Strawberry and Cream Cheese pinwheels recipe is absolutely delicious and so good you will end up eating your babies food! No lie!

Method

  • Pre-heat oven to 200ºC.
  • Add flour and butter to a mixing bowl then rub together until the flour resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add water one tablespoon at a time until it comes together into a dough.
  • Empty onto a floured work surface and knead gently, then roll until thin. Wrap pastry in parchment paper then refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, add marscapone, yogurt, maple syrup, lemon zest and half of the strawberries to a mixing bowl. Mush the strawberries to break them apart, then using an electric whisk, beat until the cheese mixture it is a lovely pink smooth colour.
  • Chop the remaining strawberries, then fold into the mixture along with the icing sugar. Leave in the fridge for 15 minutes before using. 
  • Remove pastry and filling from the fridge, then spread the filling over the pastry and roll up into a log shape. Cut the pastry into slices then place each slice into a lightly buttered muffin tin. Brush with a little egg wash to help it to brown.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Leave to cool fully before removing from the tin.
  • Serve cool with extra strawberries, mint leaves and a teeny sprinkle of icing sugar (optional).
