butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil reduces saturated fat while still providing richness.

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta cheese

💰Cheaper: mascarpone

Ricotta is lower in fat and provides a lighter texture.

fruit preserves

🥗Healthier: fresh fruit

💰Cheaper: canned fruit

Fresh fruit adds natural sweetness and reduces sugar content.

powdered sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Coconut sugar is less processed and adds a caramel flavor.

Put flour into a mixer with a hook attachment on slow speed.

Mix until it comes together; do not over mix.

Transfer the mixture to a plastic bowl sprayed with grease to prevent sticking.

Refrigerate the mixture overnight.

Take two blocks of 250 grams of salted butter (minimum 82% fat) and flatten them out to combine into 500 grams.

Use a rolling pin to flatten the butter so it fits in the middle of the dough.

Cover the butter with the dough and roll it out.

Add more flour to prevent sticking while rolling out the dough.

Repeat the rolling and folding process three times.

Rest the dough in the fridge for 10-15 minutes, wrapped in cling film to prevent drying out.
