Cooking Directions

  • Heat the oven to 375°F.  Lightly grease 24 (2 1/2-inch) muffin-pan cups.
  • Unfold 1 pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.  Roll the pastry sheet into a 9x12-inch rectangle.  Cut into 12 (3-inch) squares.  Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet, making 24 in all.  Press the pastry squares into the muffin-pan cups. Brush with the egg.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.  Remove the pastry cups from the pan and let cool completely on wire racks.
  • Mix the pudding mix and milk in a medium bowl according to the package directions.  Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoon pudding mixture into each pastry cup.  Top with the fruit.  Sprinkle with the confectioners’ sugar.
