Puff pastry filled with whipped cream and jam becomes a fast, bakery-style dessert when cooked until golden and then assembled.
🧾 Ingredients

- Let cool completely (important for filling)
3. Fill

- Add whipped cream
- Spoon jam on top or in the middle
4. Finish
- Dust with powdered sugar
- Serve immediately for best texture
😋 Result

⚠️ Tips
- Don’t fill pastry before air frying (it will melt and leak)
