Servings & Timing

  • Yield: 8–10 rolls
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Bake Time: 20–25 minutes
  • Total Time: ~40 minutes

Ingredients

For the Puff Pastry Rolls:

  • 17 oz puff pastry sheets (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 egg (optional, for egg wash)

For the Vanilla Mousse Cream:

  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp unsalted butter

For Topping:

  • ½ cup dark chocolate, chopped
  • ¼ cup sprinkles (for garnish)

Instructions

For the Mousse Cream:

  1. Whip the cream – In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the confectioners’ sugar until stiff peaks form.
  2. Add vanilla and butter – Once the cream is whipped, gently fold in the vanilla extract and softened unsalted butter. The mousse should be smooth and airy. Chill in the fridge while preparing the puff pastry.

For the Puff Pastry Rolls:

  1. Preheat the oven – Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll the puff pastry – Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll them to smooth out any creases.
  3. Cut and fill – Cut the pastry sheets into strips (about 1–1.5 inches wide). Spoon a small amount of vanilla mousse onto each strip and roll it up into tight cylinders.
  4. Egg wash (optional) – If you’d like a golden, shiny finish, brush the top of each roll with a beaten egg.
  5. Bake – Place the filled rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and puffed.
  6. Cool – Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack.

For the Topping:

  1. Melt the chocolate – In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate in the microwave (in 30-second intervals) or over a double boiler until smooth.
  2. Top the rolls – Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled rolls and sprinkle with colorful sprinkles.

Additional Notes

  • Make-ahead: You can prepare the vanilla mousse cream a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Just assemble the rolls and bake when ready to serve.
  • Variation: For a different flavor, swap the vanilla mousse with a chocolate mousse or a fruit filling.
  • Storage: Store leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to 2 days. They are best enjoyed fresh.
