Puff Pastry Lemon Rolls

Servings: 24 rolls

Ingredients

  • 1 box Pepperidge Farms puff pastry thawed
  • 1 cup lemon curd*
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds chopped (optional)

Lemon Curd

  • 1 lemon
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter softened
  • 2 eggs
  • pinch kosher salt

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Unwrap one puffed pastry sheet. Roll the sheet out on a lightly floured counter to smooth the seams together.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of lemon curd onto the pastry sheet.
  • Starting from one of the longer sides, roll the sheet into a tight log.
  • Use a serrated knife to slice the log into 12 one-inch thick rolls.
  • Place the slices onto a parchment- or silplat-lined baking sheet. Repeat above steps with the second sheet and remaining lemon curd. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • Juice and zest the lemon. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle onto the hot rolls with a spoon.
  • Sprinkle each roll with lemon zest and almonds.

Lemon Curd

  • Juice and zest the lemon set aside.
  • With a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the sugar, lemon zest and butter. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the lemon juice and salt.
  • Place in a saucepot over low heat. Cook, stirring often 10-15 minutes, until thickened.
  • Remove from heat. Use or chill for up to one week.

Notes

You can buy jarred lemon curd in the jelly aisle. Or you can make your own.
