Since from tomorrow is Easter Weekend, I thought I would give you a delicious Caribbean snack or appetizer that you can make for your family or if you have kids you can make them together. Holidays just bring those comfy, warm feelings that you just want to bake! Ever since I discovered Puff Pastry I have wanted to make as many desserts with it as possible. Pastelillos de Mangos are simply easy Mango puff pastry turnovers. I made these turnovers my own by substituting the Cashew nuts with Peanuts and the mango preserves with cubed mangoes. Delicious is an understatement with this dessert. The pastry is flaky and completely complements the mango stuffing on the inside. If you are allergic to peanuts you can totally leave them out or add any other crunchy element in the turnovers. I loved using my own homemade puff pastry but you can readily get it in most shops especially those that specifically sell baking stuff. Mangoes are still in season so there is not really an excuse as to why you should not take advantage of this delicious fruit.
