Boo! It’s time for Halloween! I have always loved getting dressed up and going out for all the festivities. This week I made this fun little treat that is tasty and fun for ghosts and ghouls of all ages. Have a fun and safe Halloween!
Boo-Berry Mummies
Filling:
2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen and thawed
2 tablespoons tapioca starch
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons sugar
Pastry:
1 sheet frozen store bought puff pastry, thawed
¼ cup vegan butter, melted
Powdered sugar for garnish
1. Make the filling by combining all filling ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently. When the opaque color becomes clear and mixture thickens, remove from heat. It will be very thick for a filling, which will prevent the sauce from oozing out of your mummies later. Set the sauce aside.
2. Cut the sheet of puff pastry into six equal parts. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry into a square 1/8 inch thick.
3. Make the mummies by cutting 2 inch strips on two opposite sides of your square. (See pictures.) Add 3 tablespoons of the Boo-Berry filling in the center. Starting at the top, cross the strips over the filling to look like bandages. Leave a little space open for the eyes. Seal the strips together with a dab of water.
4. Brush the mummies with melted butter, and bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes or until mummies are puffed and golden brown.
5. Let cool for 5 minutes, and then sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
