Custard apple rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that combines the sweet and creamy flavor of custard apple with the soft and flaky texture of pastry dough. Here’s a simple recipe to make custard apple rolls:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 cup custard apple pulp
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.
- Add the chilled butter to the bowl and use your fingers to mix it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the cold water to the bowl and mix everything together until the dough comes together in a ball.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it a few times until it becomes smooth. Then, roll it out into a rectangle that’s about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the custard apple pulp, sugar, and cinnamon powder.
- Spread the custard apple mixture evenly over the surface of the rolled-out dough.
- Starting from one of the shorter sides, roll the dough up into a tight spiral.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the spiral into slices that are about 1 inch thick.
- Place the slices onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
- Serve the custard apple rolls warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar on top, if desired.
