### Ingredients You’ll Need
– 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade, thawed if frozen)
– 2 ripe mangoes (peeled, pitted, and diced)
– 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust based on the sweetness of your mangoes)
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional for extra tang)
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional for added warmth)
– 1 egg (for egg wash)
– Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
– Fresh mint (for garnish, optional)
### Instructions
**1. Preheat the Oven:**
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the pastries from sticking and to ensure even cooking.
**2. Prepare the Mango Filling:**
Peel and dice the mangoes into small cubes, ensuring you remove the pit. You should have about 1 ½ to 2 cups of diced mango. Place the diced mango into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice (if using). Stir occasionally, allowing the mango to soften and release its natural juices.
Once the mango starts to soften, you can add cinnamon for extra flavor if you’d like. Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly and becomes jam-like in consistency. If the mangoes are particularly juicy, you can increase the heat a little to help the liquid reduce. Once the filling has thickened, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly while you prepare the puff pastry.
**3. Prepare the Puff Pastry:**
While the mango filling cools, unroll your sheet of puff pastry on a flat surface. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the pastry into squares, rectangles, or even triangles—whichever shape you prefer. A 3-inch square works well for bite-sized treats, but you can adjust the size based on your preferences.
**4. Fill the Pastry:**
Spoon a small amount of the mango filling into the center of each puff pastry piece. Be sure not to overfill, as the pastry needs room to fold and puff up during baking. Leave a small border around the edges for sealing.
