Ingredients

Units Scale
  1. 1-pound puff pastry
  2. 1 egg yolk for brushing
  3. 6 oz. cream cheese
  4. 2 tablespoons condensed milk
  5. For decoration:
  6. 1/3 cup red grapes
  7. 1 teaspoon green chocolate chips
  8. 1 teaspoon yellow chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/8-inch. Using a cookie cutter, form 12 circles, each 3-4 inches in diameter. Cut out the centers of 6 circles. Prick the remaining 6 circles with a fork. Place the rims on the base and brush with egg yolk. Braid the remaining dough and shape them into semicircles for the basket handles. Brush the basket handles with egg yolk. Cut out small daisies from the dough. Bake in the oven for 4 minutes for the daisies, 10 minutes for the handles, and 15 minutes for the baskets. Cool.
  2. Mix the cream cheese with the condensed milk. Transfer the cream to a pastry bag. Pipe the cream into the baskets. Push the handles into the cream.
  3. Arrange the grapes and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
  4. Decorate the daisies with a drop of melted orange chocolate or icing. Arrange the daisies in the baskets.
  5. Happy Easter!

Notes
