Pistachio Cranberry Mini Puff Pastries

These Pistachio Cranberry Mini Puff Pastries are flaky, golden and just a couple of bites each, but loaded with flavor. The pistachio cream is rich without being heavy, the cranberry compote adds a bright tang, and the puff pastry ties it all together. Even though they feel indulgent, the filling is made with real ingredients like pistachios, Greek yogurt and fresh cranberries so you get a bit of healthy fats, antioxidants, probiotics and vitamin C in every bite. Perfect for parties, dessert boards or when you want something impressive without a ton of work.
