Easy Mardi Gras Buns
Once again, Mathilde has been in the kitchen and working her magic. This time it's three recipes for super easy Mardi Gras buns, made with ready-made puff pastry. She has experimented a bit with the filling. The first is made with Lars, her father in mind - who LOVES caramel and the combination with fresh apples. The one with berries is more traditional, while the one with a hint of chilli in the jam is something very special. You can fill the puff pastry balls with the kind of filling you like best. Some supermarkets also sell packs of frosted Mardi Gras buns. A hack with them is to bake them and put whipped cream, possibly stir with a little marmalade inside and voupti you have Mardi Gras buns. They are all on par with the ones from the baker and it really doesn't take long to make them.
Mardi Gras buns with berries
1 x puff pastry
2,5 dl whipping cream
3 tbsp. mamalade
0,5 pack cake cream (powder)
Milk for cake cream (Follow instructions on package)
1 tray of fresh berries
2 tbsp. icing sugar
Roll the croissant dough into buns and put them in the oven as directed on the tray. Whip the cream until frothy and mix in the mamaleden. Then whisk the powder and milk together to form cake cream. When the buns are finished and well cooled, cut them in half. The cake cream is spread in the middle, and the whipped cream is sprinkled on the outside. Before the top is put on, fresh berries are placed in the middle. Mix water and icing sugar to make a glaze to decorate the top with. Optionally use extra berries for decoration.
You can see in the video above how easy they are to make.
Bon appetite.

Put 1 can of condensed milk to boil for about 3 hours in the can. so it turns into caramel. Roll puff pastry dough into buns and put them in the oven as directed on the package. Whip the cream until frothy and then mix it with the creme fraiche. Grate the apple and mix it with the cream. When the buns are finished and well cooled, cut them in half.

Mardi Gras buns with Chili
1 x puff pastry
0,5 pack cake cream (powder)
Milk for cake cream (Follow instructions on the package)
2,5 dl cream
3 tablespoons of rosehip mamalade with chilli
1 tray of berries
2 tablespoons flour
Chili flakes (optional)
Roll croissant dough into buns and place in the oven as directed on the tray. Whip the cream into whipped cream. The powder and milk are then whisked together to form cake cream. When the buns are finished and well cooled, cut them in half. The cake cream is spread in the middle, and the whipped cream is sprinkled on the outside. Before the top is put on, mamalade is placed in the middle, approx. 0,5 tbsp. on each. Mix water and icing sugar to make a glaze to decorate the top with. Optionally use some chilli flakes on top for decoration and flavour. You can make the chilli jam yourself by adding some chilli flakes to a rosehip jam you have bought. The one I've used here is from Arla Unika, where chili is already added.
