After lots and lots of desserts, I decided to highlight one of my favorites. And because I forgot to serve them at the party, I felt the need to give them their very own post. I couldn't believe I forgot to serve them!
Elegant Puff Pastry Diamond Rings
So simple, yet elegant!
Lay out your Pepperidge Farms puff pastry sheets~
Using the diamond ring cookie cutter, cut one diamond ring.
Cut another diamond ring and cut out the center with a round cutter.
Lay the ring with the open center on top of the solid ring.
Brush with egg wash.
Sprinkle with Sugar Crystal.
(Repeat all steps until you have used all the puff pastry.)
Bake according to directions.
Fill with anything! I used a Raspberry Filling and Whipped Cream~
Add the Raspberry Filling to the center of the Diamond Ring
Top with a dollop of whipped cream and serve.
RASPBERRY FILLING
1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
DIRECTIONS
- In a small sauce pan, combined all of the ingredients and slowly bring to a boil over medium-high heat (keep stirring until thickened for best results).
- Let cool completely before filling pastry rings.
- Top with whipped cream and serve.
Notice, I said serve - don't forget to serve!
I think I forgot to serve them because they needed to be assembled right before serving or...Maybe I forgot those little gems because everyone was in line at the buffet~
This Buffet~
I used several yellow fans for the backdrop.
Here's what I served~
And when I couldn't find napkins...I made some!
Plain white napkins stamped with LOVE!
Don't go far...
The Best is Yet to Come!
I hate it when I forget to serve something at a party. Your diamonds are so pretty and I know they tasted amazing. Oh, well, it certainly looks like everything else you served was wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth - when I did realize I had forgotten them, the Bride to Be and her mom were still here, so I got to share them anyway!
DeleteLooks like a lovely brunch - everything sounds delicious! Cheryl
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl!
DeleteI love the yellow fans as decor! It all looks lovely :) Plus, puff pastry diamonds? So creative! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer - the diamond rings were in my mind for so long, I cannot believe I forgot to serve them!
DeleteI loved these! They were an extra special treat that was enjoyed after the shower!
ReplyDeleteThank heavens you were still around to have a bite!
DeletePuff Pastry Diamonds and yellow fan decorations!! It doesn't get any better than this :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa - you're too sweet!
DeleteOh my gosh! I've done this before too. Forgot to serve something a made because it needed last minute assembly or it was in the freezer. These tings are fabulous! I'm sorry you forgot them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tiffany - next time I'll have to put a sticky note on my forehead! :)
Deletethat was one oopsies that was to your advantage cuz i'd have a hard time sharing the tasty rings myself! heehee
ReplyDeleteYep Lisa - they were all ready and waiting for me to gobble up!
DeleteSuch a clever idea! I would want to show them off ... then forget to serve them, heehee ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Brenda - I almost ran to the driveway and shouted for everyone to come back!!! :)
DeleteWhat a shame your forgot to serve these! They are such a creative idea and I know everyone would have loved them. Pretty sure though, that with every other fabulous thing you did and served at this gathering no one missed them except the great hostess.
ReplyDeleteThank you Paula! I remembered them right before the Bride and her mom left, so I was able to send them out the door with a couple!
DeleteWhat a brilliant idea Kim. I love puff pastry so much. Don't tell anyone but I actually like it raw, too. I know, I'm weird. Your rings turned out amazing. I'm sorry your guest didn't get to enjoy them, well you'll just have to throw another of your show stopping parties and make these again.:-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Hani - I haven't tried the puff pastry raw, but now I'm going to have to. I love cookie dough, noodle dough, cake batter, brownie batter, so raw puff pastry should be the next best thing!
DeleteYou're creativity and attention to detail never ceases to amaze me! How do you do all that you do, pretty lady? You should be party planner to the stars! I'm ready to get after some puff pastry with my cookie cutters, lol!
ReplyDeleteHa ha - let's just say I don't sleep much! I'm pretty sure you'll turn puff pastry into the next number one dessert! :) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteGood delicacies are so difficult to find. Most tasty desserts will always look simple and elegant like these. Thanks for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the very sweet comment!
