Easy Puff Pastry Cups
Pack your favorite filling into these Puff Pastry Cups for a delicious, fancy dinner or appetizer! These homemade pastry shells are just as good as the Pepperidge Farm puff pastry shells, but are a doddle to make yourself. Just follow this simple puff pastry cups recipes and you’ll end up with beautiful golden brown, crispy pastry cases.
For a sweet version of the pastry shells, fill them with juicy berries and a drizzle of honey, like I’ve done here. They work perfectly with savory fillings too: load them with a luxurious helping of chicken and mushrooms in a cheesy sauce, or a spoonful of cream cheese topped with garlic roasted peppers. Just like the French vol-au-vents, they look so elegant and very impressive on the dinner plate!

Puffy for sure, maybe even more puffy than I expected lol they look like they are about to burst!
Tried to shape this into little heart pastries but they ended up being peach shaped sadly, still delicious.
Drizzled some caramel over the top of this and added a little bit more fruit in the inside since mine were bigger than the pictures.
Can't get enough of this amazingly flavorful pastry cups! my kids and I devoured this insantly.
It's good but can easily go wrong if you add too little or too much water.
This is better than the passtry strawberry tarts, multi fruit is always the way to go.
