Servings4 turnovers

Ingredients

Turnovers

  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 6 tablespoons cream of coconut
  • ¼ teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 sheet puff pastry

Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoons milk
  • optional: 1/8-1/4 teaspoon coconut extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400℉. Combine coconut, cream of coconut, and ¼ teaspoon coconut extract. Set aside.
  • Thaw puff pastry according to package directions. Place on a lightly floured surface and gently roll out into a square about 12×12 inches. Cut puff pastry into 4 equal squares.
  • Place ¼ of the coconut mixture on top of each pastry square, spreading out the mixture on one half of the square in a triangular shape. Keep the mixture ½ inch away from all edges. Dip a finger in water and lightly run it around all the edges of pastry square. Fold in half, creating a triangle shape. Gently press edges together, and crimp with a fork. Take fork and poke through top of each pastry to vent steam. Place pastries on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Transfer turnovers to a cooling rack.
  • While pastries are cooling, combine glaze ingredients and stir until smooth, adding more liquid if necessary. When pastries are just slightly warm (not hot) use a fork to drizzle glaze, or place glaze in a small zip top bag with a corner cut off. Drizzle evenly over pastries and let cool.
