Peach Ginger Chai Pastry

With a Sweet Elderflower Glaze

This peach ginger chai pastry is the perfect sweet treat for a tea party! Not only is it really delicious and fancy looking but its so simple to make! It requires so little effort and tastes amazing! I mean that's definitely my type of pastry!

The filling

First make the filling! You can definitely use fresh peaches for this. Especially if they're in season. But to make quick work of this decadent pastry, I suggest getting the peach slices packed in fruit juice. I like this one, I just love that it's clear plastic packaging and you can see the peaches. I fear buying canned fruit sometimes and finding mushy fruit!

But the peaches slices are already peeled and sliced, all you have to do is drain the liquid and stick the peaches into the saucepan with the other spices! I love shortcuts!!

Speaking of the spices, I like ginger because it helps to spice up the peaches a little. It might sound a bit strange but the sweet and tart peaches blend really well with the warm spicy ginger. And of course a touch chai spice or chai masala always perfectly compliments ginger! Making this peach ginger chai pastry the perfect pair with Masala Chai or Masala Chai Affogato!!

The pastry dough

Another shortcut alert! Just but some puff pastry dough! I try to always have some on hand. They make the perfect base for any tea time snack, whether its savory or sweet.

Here's how I assemble the pastry:

1. Roll out the puff pastry sheet a little bit (mostly to smooth the surface out)
2. Cut the puff pastry sheet in half
3. Spoon on peach ginger chai filling onto one of the halves, leaving a little bit of room all around the edges to seal
4. Place the other half of the puff pastry sheet on top and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
5. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes

The Glaze

So have you had peaches and elderflower together yet? They are an amazing pair!! In drinks, desserts, maybe even savory dishes! They are like quintessential summer flavors and together they will make anything you use them in out of this world!

I like to use elderflower syrup, because we like to have it on hand to make summer drinks. But it turns out you can easily use it to make delicious glazes too! Just a little powdered sugar, milk and elderflower syrup. Whisk until its smooth and then pour over the cooled Peach Ginger Chai Pastry!

If you don't have elderflower syrup, you can replace with a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a teaspoon of additional milk.
