Cook Time30 minsT

Total Time55 mins

Ingredients

375 g Keeling’s raspberries3 punnets

1 tbsp caster sugar

Squeeze of lemon

1 packet of shortcrust pastrythawed if bought frozen

1 tbsp flour

1 eggbeaten

Handful flaked almonds

Directions

1

Place raspberries in a medium sized bowl then sprinkled over caster sugar and squeeze over some lemon juice. Stir with a fork so that some of the raspberries are broken up, but still maintaining plenty of whole ones. Set aside.

2

Pre-heat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan assisted and place a flat baking sheet or overturned tray in the oven to pre-heat.

3

Roll out chilled shortcrust pastry on a floured surface to about 5mm thick then transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry into a large heart, discarding the trimmed pieces of pastry.

4

Sprinkle the flour over the middle of the pastry, this will help thicken the juices while baking, then tip out the raspberries on top and spread out over the pastry in an even layer, but keep a 4-5cm border around the edges.

5

Fold the pastry border up and over the filling, shaping the galette into a heart as you fold the edges over, until you’re back where you started, crimping the pastry together where the folds meet to help them stick.

6

Brush the pastry border with beaten egg and sprinkle with flaked almonds.

7

Place the tray directly on top of the hot tray already in the oven and bake until pastry is golden, 30-35 minutes.

8

Remove from the oven and leave to stand for about 5-10 minutes before serving with scoops of ice-cream or dollops of whipped cream while still warm.

Neven’s Christmas in Limerick airs on Thursday, 11 December, on RTÉ One at 8pm.

Ingredients

Makes 12

· 320g Ready Rolled Puff pastry

· 220g Mincemeat

· 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon

· 1 Egg Yolk mixed with 1 tbsp Milk

· 25g Butter


For The Vanilla Frost Dip

· 100g Cream Cheese

· 75g Icing Sugar

· 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

· 1 tbsp Cream

· Good Pinch Sea salt

Method

  1. Preheat to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4).
  2. Unroll the puff pastry on a clean work surface, with the long edge on the top and bottom. Carefully spread the mincemeat all over the surface, leaving a 1cm edge all round. Dust over the ground cinnamon.
  3. Carefully begin to roll the pastry to create a long log. Using a sharp knife, cut into 12, roughly 3cm thick each.
  4. Melt the butter in a small pan or in the microwave and use to brush the holes of the muffin tin generously. Place the cut pastry swirls into each of the muffin holes, then brush with the beaten egg mixture.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes until golden. Gently remove from the tin immediately to a cooling rack, and allow to cool.


For The Vanilla Frost Dip

  1. Place the cream cheese in a bowl and whisk using a handheld blender for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Sift in the icing sugar followed by the vanilla extract, cream and salt. Whisk again for another few minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Serve the mincemeat swirls warm or at room temperature with the vanilla frost dip in small bowls alongside.
