Immagina un boccone di pura delicatezza: sottili cestini di pasta sfoglia dorati e fragranti che racchiudono una vellutata crema di zucca, ricca di sapore autunnale, con un leggero tocco di dolcezza dato dal miele. La zucca Delica, dal sapore intenso e avvolgente, si fonde perfettamente con la morbidezza della panna e un pizzico di noce moscata. Sopra, un’esplosione di colori con mirtilli e ribes freschi, che aggiungono una nota leggermente acidula e un contrasto cromatico che attira immediatamente l'attenzione. Perfetti per stupire gli ospiti, questi vol-au-vent sono un equilibrio tra rusticità e raffinatezza, adatti a ogni occasione, dal brunch elegante a una cena gourmet.

Ingredients

Procedure

  • 0. If you're using ready-made puff pastry, unroll the sheet and cut out circles using a round pastry cutter (or a glass).
  • 1. Take half the circles and, using a smaller cutter, cut a hole in the center of each to create rings. Place each ring over a full circle and press lightly to adhere.
  • 2. Brush the surface of the vol-au-vents with beaten egg for a perfect golden brown finish.
  • 3. Bake the vol-au-vents in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
  • 4. Cut the pumpkin into cubes and cook it in the oven at 180°C for about 25-30 minutes, until soft.
  • 5. Blend: Once cooked, place the pumpkin in a blender with the olive oil, cream (if using), a pinch of salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Blend until smooth.
  • 6. If desired, add grated cheese and honey for a balanced sweet-savory flavor. Mix well.
  • 7. Fill the vol-au-vents: Once the vol-au-vents are ready and slightly cooled, fill them with the pumpkin cream using a teaspoon or a piping bag.
  • 8. Garnish: Add berries to the top of each vol-au-vent for a colorful, fresh touch, as shown in the photo.
  • 9. You can serve these vol-au-vents hot or cold. They're perfect as an appetizer or as an elegant finger food! Let me know if you need any adjustments to the recipe or if you have any questions!
