Looks like a culinary challenge, Jessica! Welcome to DC - we have some members from "down under" who will likely have something to contribute. I have never seen one before, but I think I have been missing out on a very good thing.
 
hi mexicokaren, nice to meet you too....yes , i really wanna make that puffy but i don`t know how to make it. can anyone share the ricipe?
 
nice to meet you, Jessica.

Been cooking and baking for more than 50 years, and have never seen anything like that before.

Wayne (attie) should be around soon.. or someone else from Australia, and hopefully they'll know what, and how...
 
If I had to guess (because I really don't have an answer), I think the puff pastry is given an egg wash before baking and a topping of cookie crumbs is sprinkled in it. The custard filling almost has to be injected after the item has cooled, just like a filled donut. I worked in a small bakery while in high school, and made more than my share of iced & filled donuts starting at 4 a.m.. That's when I decided being a full time baker wasn't for me.:LOL:

Or, the cookie crumbs topping could be put on following a thin layer of icing to hold it to the puff pastry after baking. Custard injected as suggested above.

Now for our Down-Under connection to straighten me out!

Well, I'm from New Zealand, not Australia, but this isn't something I've seen before, either here or over the ditch.

My first assumption was that this was the kind of goody you'd pick up at one of the Asian shops here. I'm not sure why... maybe the way the description in the first thumbnail reads?

Whatever, they look nice! Maybe they are something new in Australia that hasn't quite reached New Zealand yet. Looking forward to hearing from the Aussies!
 
yes. seem that this puffy only can be found in australia..if any body have the ricipe for it, please share it...i am really waiting for it...:chef:
 
I don't know. To me it looks like when you deep fry goat cheese.
Perhaps a dollop of cream/custard is place out on cookie crumbs, then top is sprinkled with the cookie crumb mix,gently lifted, then deep fried.
Looks yummy!
Top with a raspberry sauce (or sauce of your liking) and scoop of ice cream (what flavor?), and sprig of mint, and you got your own designer dish.
 
I don't know. To me it looks like when you deep fry goat cheese.

That's what it reminds me of, too. But the filling is so runny, and the goat cheese can hold its own especially when cold.

I have to say that now I am also dying for the recipe because it looks like the best thing a person could ever eat!!! Okay, not EVER but one of them. It's certainly in a league of its own.

Thanks for getting us all in a pastry frenzy. Let's keep tossing ideas around!
 
Notice that the "real thing" has a thicker pastry part than that in the diagram. Could it just be a tradtional bavarian cream doughnut rolled in the cookie crumbs?

Oops- I read all the posts but I didn't click on the second Puffy link to see that they are explained pretty well there. Don't mind me...

That may be because it is probably not a "recipe" but a process that takes special equipment exclusive to the chain that sells them. You might be able to come close, but it is possibly not replicable at home.
