Christmas Plum Cones
Puff pastry cones filled with plum quark are classic retro baked goods. Try figs instead of plums.

Method
- 1
Shape 12 cones out of aluminum foil. Cut the foil into squares of about 30 x 30 cm and fold the pieces several times into triangles. Finally, roll the triangle into a sturdy cone.

First, cut the thawed pastry sheets in half lengthwise, and then in half again, but this time so that the pastry strips remain attached to each other at the top edge for about 2 cm. Wrap the strips around the aluminum cones.

Start wrapping the pastry strips from the tip of the cone. Press the joint of the strips onto the tip of the aluminum cone and wrap the strips side-by-side into a cone. Brush the surface with beaten egg and sprinkle with pearl sugar. Bake the cones in a 225-degree oven for 15–20 minutes until beautifully golden brown.

Boil the plums in water until they have softened, and then purée them in a blender or food processor. Whip the cream. Mix the whipped cream, quark, sugars, and cinnamon into the cooled plum purée. Fill the cooled cones with the plum cream mixture and serve with coffee or mulled wine (glögi).
