Description

Delicate, crispy faworki made from ready-made puff pastry, filled with a sweet mascarpone cream and decorated with fresh fruits (strawberries and blueberries). This is a quick and impressive snack perfect for Valentine's Day — it combines the buttery, flaky texture of the pastry with a creamy, mildly sweet filling and juicy fruits. Served on a small plate, they look very romantic: golden twisted strands of pastry, white dollops of cream, and red-blue accents of fruit. Best served immediately after preparation, as an elegant snack for a party or as a sweet appetizer with coffee/liqueur.

Preparation steps

Preparation

1

Take the puff pastry out of the fridge 20 minutes before starting, so it is not ice-cold — this will make it easier to roll out and shape. In the meantime, position the oven rack in the middle and preheat the oven: 200°C (top and bottom) or 180°C with fan. Make sure all ingredients are prepared (mascarpone taken out of the fridge a little earlier).

Ingredients: Puff pastry, Mascarpone
Use a plate or board to lay out the ingredients. If the dough is very hard, 20 minutes at room temperature will be enough; do not let it sit too long so that the butter does not start to melt.

Preparation of the cream

2

In a medium bowl, place mascarpone (250 g). Add 20 g of sugar and 8 g of vanilla sugar, along with 15 ml of lemon juice. Use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula and mix vigorously for about 1–2 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and uniform — do not mix for too long to prevent the cream from becoming too runny. The finished cream should be thick, creamy, and lump-free.

Ingredients: Mascarpone, sugar, Vanilla sugar, Lemon juice
Use a mixer on low speed only if the cream is lumpy; mixing by hand is safer. The mixture should not be runny — if it is too soft, put the bowl in the fridge for 5–10 minutes.

Preparing the fruits

3

Wash the strawberries (300 g) under cold water, and dry them with a paper towel. Remove the stems and slice each strawberry into thin slices about 3–4 mm thick. Rinse the blueberries (150 g) gently and drain. Store the fruits in a cool place until assembling the faworki.

Ingredients: Strawberries, Blueberries
Use a sharp knife and a cutting board. Do not cut the strawberries too early before serving — they may release juice.

Shaping and baking

4

Lightly sprinkle the work surface with flour (20 g). Roll out or unfold the sheet of puff pastry (400 g) on the work surface. If the dough is folded in several layers, roll it out very gently with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 3 mm, making 1-2 passes — the goal is to even out the surface, not to press out the air. Cut the dough into rectangles measuring about 10 cm × 4 cm (you should get about 20 pieces from one sheet). In the center of each rectangle, make a vertical cut about 3/4 of the length (about 7 cm). Pull one end of the rectangle through the cut or twist a piece through the cut, creating a characteristic twist (faworek). Arrange the prepared faworki on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, about 2 cm apart.

Ingredients: Puff pastry, Wheat flour (for dusting)
Use a pastry cutter or a sharp knife. To cut rectangles, place a ruler or a paper template to ensure the strips are even. If the dough sticks to the rolling pin, sprinkle a little flour, but very sparingly.
5

Break an egg (60 g) into a small bowl and whisk with a fork until smooth. Gently brush the top of each angel wing with a layer of egg — a thin layer will suffice. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes (check from the 10th minute), until the angel wings are distinctly golden, puffed, and flaky. After about 8 minutes, rotate the tray 180° if the oven bakes unevenly.

Ingredients: Egg, Puff pastry
Use a silicone brush to spread the egg. The best baking tray is one with a non-stick coating or lined with baking paper. Do not open the oven in the first 8 minutes, as the cake may collapse.

Cooling

6

After baking, gently transfer the angel wings to a cooling rack using a spatula. Leave them on the rack for 8–10 minutes until they cool down and become crispy. If you add cream to hot angel wings, it will dissolve their structure — wait until they are only slightly warm or completely cooled.

Ingredients: Puff pastry
Use a metal rack or a clean board; do not place the faworki directly on the hot baking sheet, as they will steam and lose their crispiness.

Assembly and decoration

7

Fill a piping bag (or use a teaspoon) with mascarpone cream. On each "eye" of the angel wings, place about 10–15 g of cream (a teaspoon = about 5–7 g; use 2 teaspoons). On top of the cream, place slices of strawberries and a few blueberries — try to distribute the fruits evenly so that each angel wing has a colorful accent. If you are using powdered sugar (optional), sift it through a fine sieve over the angel wings just before serving. Garnish with a few mint leaves (optional).

Ingredients: Mascarpone, Strawberries, Blueberries, Powdered sugar, Fresh mint
For applying the cream, the best option is a small piping bag with a round tip; if you don't have one, use 2 teaspoons. Additionally, you can add powdered sugar and fresh mint for decoration and aroma.

Serving

8

Arrange the angel wings on a small platter or plates for 2 people (about 4–6 pieces per person). Serve immediately — the dough is best fresh, when it is still crispy, and the cream is cool. The whole process takes about 40–50 minutes from start to finish (including baking and a short cooling time).

Ingredients: Puff pastry, Mascarpone, Strawberries, Blueberries
If you are preparing portions for a party, bake the angel wings without cream and store them in an airtight container; add the filling and decoration just before serving.

Fun Fact

💡

Faworki are traditionally made from thinly rolled dough and fried, but the version made with puff pastry baked in the oven speeds up the preparation and results in a flaky, crispy snack. The name 'faworki' comes from the shape and delicate, crispy structure, resembling bows.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the angel wings slightly chilled with a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of sparkling wine. On the plate, arrange a few mint leaves and an additional bowl with mascarpone cream for those who want to add more. If you prefer a more sophisticated version - add a drop of balsamic reduction next to the plate.

🥡 Storage

Best consumed immediately. If you need to store: baked, unfilled faworki should be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours — before adding the cream, lightly bake them in the oven for a moment (3 minutes at 160°C) to regain their crispiness. Cream-filled desserts should be stored in the refrigerator for a maximum of 4 hours. Do not freeze already filled faworki.
