LIMONCELLO CREAM SPORCAMUSS PASTRIES
👩🍳🇮🇹👨🍳👍😁😋😉
Sporcamuss are delightful, flaky pastries filled with luscious cream, perfect for a sweet treat or a celebratory dessert.
This version, filled with limoncello-infused cream, brings a tangy, citrusy twist to the traditional recipe.
Ingredients (12 SPORCAMUSS)
For the Pastry:
1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
For the Limoncello Cream:
1 lemon (peel only)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2–3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch (or potato starch)
500ml (2 cups) whole milk
100g (1/2 cup) sugar
2 tablespoons limoncello
1/2 teaspoon lemon flavor (optional)
For Assembly:
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Limoncello Cream:
In a saucepan, heat the milk with the lemon peel and vanilla extract until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let it steep for 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks with sugar until pale and creamy.
Add the flour and cornstarch to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour the warm milk (remove the lemon peel) into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens.
Remove from heat, stir in the limoncello and lemon flavor, then let it cool. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it against the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
2. Bake the Pastry:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into 12 equal squares or rectangles.
Place the pastry squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Prick each square lightly with a fork to prevent excessive puffing.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Let cool.
3. Assemble the Sporcamuss:
Slice each puff pastry square in half horizontally.
Fill a piping bag with the cooled limoncello cream.
Pipe the cream generously onto the bottom half of each pastry, then place the top half back on.
Dust the Sporcamuss with powdered sugar before serving.
