Today’s recipe is a simple to make last minute dessert idea using ready made frozen puff pastry.
These Palmiers, or Palm Leaves are also known casually as Elephant ears. or French hearts. The origin is supposed to be French but the Spanish also make palmeras, which are pretty much the same thing
In some European bakeries , I have often seen them half dipped in Chocolate. That makes them perfect to enjoy with just trea or good strong coffee, like espresso.
Cinnamon Palmiers with Raspberry Compote served with Crème brûlée.
I sometimes serve these as a dessert hors d’oeuvre at the end of a cocktail party. I also like to serve palmiers with simple desserts like fruit salad, homemade ice cream or my favourite, crème brûlée.
It’s just a little something extra to give a simple elegant touch. These can also be made without the cinnamon if you prefer. Get the Crème brûlée Recipe here.
A quick dessert for an elegant lunch.

- 1/3 to cup sugar
