Hello Everyone! As you know, at Chodye Kreyol, we’re baking fanatics; we live behind the oven to provide you with the tastiest, crispiest, and fluffiest Patties on the web. Because we want to inspire you to get baking and get immersed in our passion, here are a few ideas for fun puff pastries to make at home.
It doesn’t matter if you’re craving something sweet or savory. You don’t even need experience to undertake these fun baking projects, but remember, if you’re not having fun, you’re not doing it right.
Baking pastries is all about crafting something to eat for your loved ones, and in the process, you add some of your love for them in each treat.
Let’s get started. Get your oven gloves ready and put on your apron. Let’s bake some pastries and have some fun in the kitchen!
Crispy Cheese Twists
Who can say no to crunchy, crispy, and delicious cheese twists? We’re pretty sure these are impossible to resist. When you see how easy they are to make, you’ll want to make these sticks every time your acquaintances visit.
The secret behind the cheesy sticks is sourcing a good cheese. Think Parmesan, Manchego, or even an Aged Cheddar — the better the cheese, the tastiest the cheese twists.
Other than that, you’ll be needing baking staples, including flour, eggs, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add some paprika and cayenne pepper to add some color to your cheese twists and a bit of spiciness too!

Apple & Blueberry Danishes
Puff pastry treats are fantastic. Your guests think you spent the whole morning in the kitchen, but these apple and blueberry danishes are ready in less than an hour. That includes half an hour in the oven.
Apples and blueberries are not seen together often, and that’s too bad because the tartness and the sweetness in both fruits are super compatible. Try to find authentic demerara sugar for these ones, it’s raw and caramelly, and you don’t want to miss on that.

Plum Tarts with Honey and Black Pepper
Plums, honey, and black pepper, really? Trust us on this one; the spicy black pepper lifts honey’s sweet flavors, adding a savory kick to a fabulous puff pastry. On top of that, we’re sprinkling our baking treats with a bit of salt as well.
Together with ripe red plums, or any other fresh plum you can find, you’ll have a wonderful two-biter to swoon your guests.

Almond & Raspberry Cruffins
What happens when you put together croissants and muffins? You get yourself a cruffin, and it’s a fantastic flaky treat. You can make your cruffins anyway you like, but the almond and raspberry combination is a classic. Nutty, sweet, and buttery, this pretty baking project will prove to be a challenge, but an enjoyable one.
Dust your cruffins with icing sugar for the best presentation, and a few sliced almonds will certainly help too.

Glazed and Flaky Apple Tart
The key ingredient behind this colorful tart is halved apples, not sliced. That’s a statement, an homage to the tart and sweet fruit livened with maple syrup, a splash of brandy, vanilla extract, and pure raw sugar. This tart need nothing more. It’s perfectly balanced in sweetness and flaky crispness.
Serve this apple tart with a scoop of high-quality vanilla ice cream for the wow factor, although it’s totally delicious on its own. With or without ice cream, you want to try this recipe.

Brie, Apple & Onion Tart
Once you get some confidence baking puff pastry treats, you can start experimenting with bolder flavor combinations. Combining savory ingredients with fruit, like we’re doing in this recipe, renders fabulous results.
The creamy and slightly tangy Brie cheese, combined with apples and sweet caramelized onions, is a match made in heaven. There’s more. A touch of Dijon mustard will take this tart to new heights, and it will push your creativity to the limit.
Don’t worry, you’ll love the taste of this tart, and you’ll never see apples and onions in the same way.

Hogs in a Pretzel Blanket
Pigs in a blanket are every kid’s favorite snack, but we can make a grown-up version with a salty pretzel blanket. With few ingredients, quality matters a lot, so source the finest sausages you can find, something really special. The rest is easy.
The best part? You’ll learn how to make pretzel dough as well, and that opens a world of possibilities for your next baking projects! Pretzels are the most famous salty baking dishes on earth.

Smoked Salmon & Poppy Seed Palmiers
Six ingredients are all you need to make these pretty palmiers, and the small, dark poppy seeds add a lovely crunch and a nutty flavor to every bite. Besides, there’s nothing cream cheese can’t make better, and we’re using quite a lot of it.
You might want to bake a large batch of these palmiers because everyone will want two or three. By the way, they’re ready faster than you know, and that’s a huge bonus.
As for the salmon, fresh smoked salmon, thinly sliced will work beautifully. You can buy it pre-sliced and save some time and energy.
