"Mum I would like something sweet" – my daughter moans. The school year is over and suddenly she doesn't have anything to do. There are no lessons, set books, pop quizzes or tests. The yearly project, which plagued us for ten months, is in the past already. In a word – boredom. "Do it yourself" – I snap at her, ironing shirts. I hate ironing and the increasing pile of clean washing sends me into a bad mood. "What do you mean 'myself'???"

In this way mini pouches from French pastry with fruit were made. Swift, easy and surprisingly tasty. You also may prepare them when guests "cheer you up" with a surprise visit. They are great both hot from the oven and cooled down. You need a couple of ingredients and the honour of the housewife is rescued.

Ingredients:
1 pack of chilled French pastry

9 strawberries
18 bars of white chocolate
3 tablespoons of milk
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
caster sugar

Heat the oven up to 200C. Cover a baking sheet with some baking paper.
Cut the French pastry into squares of 7 by 7 cm. Put the squares onto the baking sheet, keeping them separate. Put the chocolate bar and half a strawberry on each of them. Wrap the four opposing diagonal corners of each pastry square around the fruit and delicately stick them together. Smooth the top of the pastry with the milk and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake for 15-17 minutes. When the pouches cool down, sprinkle them with caster sugar.

Enjoy your meal!
