When that dessert craving hits, there's nothing easier than making these Mango and Pineapple Puff Pastry Squares. The combination of flaky puff pastry and sweet and juicy baked pineapple and mango is just absolutely divine... especially when topped with a little whipped cream.

Give these a try, I know you'll love them!

Puff pastry desserts

Store-bought frozen puff pastry is my go-to for quick and easy snacks and desserts. I use them in my mulberry danishes, this pear and brie puff pastry tart, these air fryer puff pastry strudels, and these easy peasy peach puff pastry tarts.

Baking with puff pastry is just so easy: remove the puff pastry from the freezer and let it thaw while you get the other ingredients together. By the time the prep is done, the puff pastry is ready to unfold, cut, and top with your favorite toppings.

In this recipe, I decided to get tropical, with sweet and juicy sliced mango and sliced pineapple.

If you've never baked with these fruits, you're in for a treat. You're going to love how juicy and concentrated their flavor gets after just a few minutes in the oven.

Pineapple puff

To make pineapple puff pastry, you can use canned pineapple slices packed in 100% juice (the circles), or you can chop up a fresh pineapple into slices or into chunks.

Place the pineapple in the center of the puff pastry, drizzle with honey, and it's ready to bake.

Mango puff

To make mango puff pastry, you'll want to get a really ripe mango and slice it thinly. Arrange the mango slices in the center of the puff pastry square, overlapping a little. Drizzle with a bit of honey and bake.

Ingredients

The ingredients below will make 4 pineapple puffs and 4 mango puffs. If you prefer one fruit over the other, you can just double it and skip the other fruit. Or you can mix and match and put both fruits on one square of puff pastry.

• 1 package puff pastry sheets (containing two 10x10 inch sheets)
• 2 ripe mangoes - you might only need 1, but get 2 just in case)
• 4 pineapple rings - cores removed if using fresh pineapple, or used canned pineapple rings packed in 100% juice
• 3-4 tablespoons honey (or use maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan dessert—use as much or as little as you need, it might depend on how naturally sweet your fruits are
• whipped cream, for serving

Got leftover mango or pineapple? Use them up in this pineapple pico de gallo, pineapple black bean salsa, mango pico de gallo, or crab cakes with mango relish.

Equipment

• Large baking sheet or two
• Parchment paper

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400F.

Step 2: Thaw puff pastries according to the package directions (about 20-30 minutes at room temperature). Cut each puff pastry sheet into quarters, resulting in a total of eight 5-inch puff pastry squares. Place the puff pastries on 2 baking sheets.

Step 3: Peel the mangoes and cut them into thin slices.

Step 4: Arrange the fruit on the puff pastries however you like. I made puff pastry squares with mango slices, ones with pineapples, and ones with pineapple slices and mango roses in the middle.

Step 5: Drizzle each puff pastry square with 1-2 teaspoons honey, taking care not to get honey too close to the edge.

Step 6: Bake at 400F for 15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown.

Step 7: Allow to cool until safe to touch (be careful! The juices from the fruit are hot!). Once cooked, top with whipped cream and enjoy!
