Almond, Raspberry and Goat Cheese Empanadas

Delicious empanada dessert, made with a filling of fresh raspberries, sweet goat cheese and sliced almonds.

Ingredients

  • 15-18 medium empanadas
  • 350 g of fresh raspberries
  • 280-310 g goat's cheese at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon of orange zest
  • ½ cup almond slices
  • 1 egg white and yolk separated and beaten
  • ¼ cup demerara sugar to cover

Preparation Method

  1. Mix the goat cheese, vanilla and orange zest in a bowl, mixing well.
  2. To assemble the empanadas, place a spoonful of the cheese, some raspberries and a few slices of almonds in the center of each disc.
  3. Brush the edges of the discs with the egg white.
  4. Fold the empanada discs and seal the edges using a fork to help.
  5. Brush the top of the empanadas with egg yolk, this will help to give them a golden touch when they bake.
  6. Place some of the almond slices on top of the empanadas immediately after brushing them with the yolk, to stick them together.
  7. Spread demerara sugar over the empanadas.
  8. Leave in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until ready to use, this helps seal them better.
