Easy 4 Ingredients Puff Pastry Cinnamon Twists – A Simple Dessert Recipe You’ll Love
If you’ve ever stared into your pantry at 8 PM thinking, “I need dessert, but I also need to not destroy the kitchen,” then friend—you’re in the right place. These Easy Puff Pastry Cinnamon Twists are the perfect lazy-meets-fancy solution. With just a few ingredients and a roll (or two) of store-bought puff pastry, you can whip up a dessert made with puff pastry that looks bakery-worthy but takes almost zero effort. Yes, really.
Here’s the secret: it’s all about that magical combo of flaky layers, melty butter, and a dreamy cinnamon-sugar coating. This recipe checks all the boxes for simple puff pastry desserts and delivers major flavor with barely any fuss. It’s one of those recipes that use puff pastry you’ll make once... then again... and again. (Trust me, your people will request it on repeat.)
Temperature control is everything. Puff pastry gets cranky when it's warm, especially if your kitchen feels like a sauna. FYI: chill the shaped twists for 10 minutes before baking to keep them from turning into a cinnamon blob. You want crispy edges, not a puff pastry meltdown.
Want to take things next level? The glaze is a game-changer. My go-to is a quick mix of powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla—simple but ridiculously good. It turns these cinnamon puff pastry recipes from “yum” to “OMG.”
Oh, and pro tip for busy mornings: stash leftovers in an airtight container and reheat them at 300°F for a few minutes. The crisp comes back like magic. IMO, it’s one of the best desserts made with puff pastry for breakfast.
If you’ve been hunting for gourmet pastry recipes that don’t involve pastry school or a stress migraine, this is it. It’s fast, it’s flaky, it’s one of those genius easy desserts puff pastry makes totally doable.
