Coffee Cream Samosas
The coffee cream samosa is originally a modern twist on the Indian sweet samosas, which has become popular in recent years among lovers of creative desserts. Instead of traditional savory fillings, this version features a sweet, coffee-flavored cream filling mascarpone, taking this iconic street food to a new level. On a cold winter evening, there's nothing better than a warm, fragrant coffee cream samosa on the table. As soon as it comes out of the oven, the kitchen is filled with the aroma of sweet coffee and freshly baked pastry, which is guaranteed to draw everyone to the table. The secret lies in whipping the properly chilled cream and gently folding in the silky mascarpone cream. The crispiness of the puff pastry and the contrast of the cream inside makes this dessert truly special. This samosa is the perfect choice for gatherings with friends, Christmas baking sessions, or special moments during a coffee break. If you want to vary it, try adding a little cinnamon or chocolate chips to the filling.

Preparation Steps
1
Start by preparing all the ingredients: measure out the heavy cream, sugar, mascarpone cheese, and instant coffee powder. In a separate small bowl, separate the egg (you'll need the yolk for brushing). Tip: Always start with cold ingredients to prevent the cream from melting too early.
2
In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. It's important that the cream is cold, otherwise it won't whip properly. Once it starts to thicken, add the sugar and instant coffee powder. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until you have a smooth, silky cream. Tip: Don't overmix, or the cream may collapse!
3
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a thickness of about 2 mm. Cut into approximately 10x10 cm (4x4 inch) squares. Tip: Work quickly to prevent the pastry from warming up, as it will become more difficult to handle.
4
Place a teaspoon of the coffee cream filling in the center of each square, then fold them in half diagonally to form triangles. Lightly moisten the edges with water, then press them together with a fork to seal well. Tip: If you put too much filling in, it may leak out during baking!
5
Place the filled samosas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Whisk the egg with one tablespoon of water and brush the tops with the mixture. This will give them a beautiful golden-brown color. Tip: Don't use too much egg wash, a thin layer is enough!
6
Bake the samosas in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Tip: Avoid opening the oven frequently, as the pastry may suddenly collapse!
7
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They are excellent both warm and cold, with the cream remaining silky inside. Tip: You can sprinkle them with a little powdered sugar to make them even more festive!
