STEP BY STEP

Let’s make it.

Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the raspberries with half the sugar for 5–6 minutes, mashing, until reduced slightly. Stir in the chia and cool until thick.
Melt the mozzarella and cream cheese together in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts, stirring. Let cool until warm, then work in the almond meal, egg, remaining sugar, vanilla and salt. Chill for 10 minutes if sticky.
Divide the dough into 8 portions. Roll each between sheets of baking paper to a circle about 12 cm wide. Share the cooled raspberry filling among the circles, keeping it on one half with a clear border.
Use the paper to fold the dough over. Seal the edges firmly with a fork, transfer to a lined tray and cut a small steam slit in each pocket.
Bake for 18–23 minutes until golden and the pastry is set. Cool for at least 10 minutes before dividing into 8 servings; the filling stays hot.

Kitchen notes

The pastry is cheese-based and has a gentle savory note; it is not laminated puff pastry. Keep the fruit filling thick to reduce leaks.
