Raspberry Turnovers
Raspberry Turnovers are a fruity dessert of flaky butter pastry wrapped around a tangy raspberry filling. The Thermomix TM7 weighs the flour and butter precisely, kneads the dough evenly and heats the raspberry mixture to the ideal consistency. Golden, crisp parcels with a juicy centre, ideal for afternoon tea or a sweet weekend treat.
About this recipe
Raspberry Turnovers made in the Thermomix TM7 are the kind of dessert that looks impressive yet comes together with surprising ease in your all-in-one kitchen machine. These golden pastry parcels hide a tangy raspberry filling thickened with sugar and a splash of lemon juice, all sealed inside a homemade dough of plain flour, cold butter, egg and a pinch of sea salt. Searching for raspberry turnover recipes usually leads to fussy methods, but here the TM7 takes over: the scale weighs your flour and butter directly into the bowl, the kneading function brings the dough together evenly, and gentle heating turns the frozen raspberries into a glossy, spoonable filling without any stirring on the hob. The result is a crisp, flaky exterior giving way to a warm, juicy centre, perfect as a weekend dessert, an afternoon treat with coffee or a lunchbox surprise for the children. Fresh from the oven, dusted with a little extra sugar, these turnovers taste like a French pâtisserie creation made in your own kitchen.
Preparation tips
- Keep the butter and water for the pastry as cold as possible so the dough bakes into distinct flaky layers; if the dough feels soft while rolling, pop it back in the fridge until firm again.
- Drain the raspberry filling well before spooning it onto the pastry squares, otherwise the juicy mixture leaks out during baking and the turnovers lose their crisp bottom.
- Brush the pastry edges generously with beaten egg and press them firmly with a fork; this seals the raspberry filling inside and gives the turnovers an attractive golden, glossy finish.
Recipe variations
- Swap the raspberries for frozen blueberries or a mix of forest fruits and add a pinch of cinnamon to the filling for a warmer, autumn-style version that pairs beautifully with whipped cream.
- For a festive variation, fold a small cube of white chocolate or marzipan into each raspberry filling before sealing, then dust the baked turnovers with icing sugar for a party-ready dessert.
