Small in size, but big on flavour
The world’s first dessert Jamaican patties!
(Don’t worry, I have savoury flavours too.)
What are Petite Patties?
They’re flaky, golden Jamaican patties reinvented in a petite 3″ square size. They’re stuffed with either savoury fillings or (yes, you’re reading this right) sweet dessert flavours.
Sure, they might sound small, but don’t let their size fool you. These little squares are equally (if not more) filling than the traditional ones.
With seven flavour options (including vegan, dairy-free, and halal), there’s truly something for everyone.
How a pastry chef crashed the patty party
You’re probably wondering why a company called The Dessert Artist would make Jamaican patties given their traditionally savoury nature.
The answer lies in the fact that 50% of a patty is pastry — a specialty for a pastry chef like myself.
Plus I thought it’d be neat to make dessert Jamaican patties since that’s not something I’ve ever seen. So when I began recipe development, I actually started with a dessert flavour.
The savoury ones came to be, because well, why not!
I may be a pastry chef, but I’m no stranger in the kitchen.
Meet the Patties
Beef (Mild) – Naked
Dairy free | Halal
Ground beef spiced to perfection without any heat.
Spicy Beef – Orange Dot
Dairy free | Halal
The same great flavours from the mild beef but with a spicy kick courtesy of Beko Food’s Tina hot sauce.
Jerk Chicken – Purple Dot
Dairy free | Halal
Seasoned shredded chicken tossed in housemade jerk sauce. Not as spicy as the spicy beef, but definitely packs a punch.
Curry Potato – Green Dot
Vegan
Potatoes and chickpeas cooked in Jamaican curry powder. This veggie delight is sure to please your taste buds.
Mango – Slit
Vegan
The one who started it all, the OG dessert flavour. Mango chunks sit on top of a spiced mango jam and get a light sprinkling of brown sugar.
Plantain – Two Green Dots
Vegan
A combination of spiced plantain puree and soy butter., giving it a sweet and nutty flavour. A play on banana with peanut butter.
Rum Raisin – Two Purple Dots
The perfect harmony of rum soaked raisins and a cheesecake-like filling.
What’s the best way to reheat them?
Like a lot of things in life, there are many ways to do so. Below I’ve listed a few tried and true methods, but by no means is this an exhaustive list.
Discover another way to heat them up? Share your method by sending me a message on Instagram and it may just find it’s way onto the list.
Convection Oven
Preheat the oven to 375°F
Fridge patties: 10-15 minutes
Frozen patties: 20-25 minutes
Toaster Oven
On the “bake” setting, set toaster oven to 400°F
Fridge patties: 9 minutes
Frozen patties: 15 – 20 minutes
Air Fryer
Set to 375°F
Fridge patties: 7 – 9 minutes
Frozen patties: 10 – 15 minutes
Microwave + Toaster Combo
Fridge patties: microwave the patty until the center is warm, around 1 minute or so. Then place in the toaster until the pastry reaches your desired crispness.
**I would not recommend this method for the mango patty since the filling could leak out.**
All your patty questions, answered
How do I store Jamaican patties?
Fridge: Keep any leftover patties stored inside of an airtight container. They will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Keep any leftover patties stored inside of a flat, airtight baggie (helps to prevent freezer burn). They will keep in the freezer for up to 8 months.
There are dark bits on my patty. Does that mean it’s burnt?
9 times out of 10, no it isn’t!
With the jerk chicken patty, the marinade I use loves to leak out and it goes “black” while they bake. Although it might not look great, this is actually my favorite part to eat.
In the case of the mango patty, if it’s not super dark, the filling simply caramelized when it leaked out. Making it extra yummy!
Don’t want the dark bits? They’re super easy to flake off if you’re not a fan of them.
Where can I get an immediate patty fix?
You can find Petite Patties on the menu at the following locations:
~ TWB Cooperative Brewing
~ Yoni Mudra Art Gallery (and café)
~ Counterpoint Brewing
Looking to restock your freezer?
Stop by Legacy Greens! A boutique grocery store in downtown Kitchener located at 18 Ontario St N.
They carry all of the savoury flavours in their frozen section.

DELICIOUSSSSSS (and I burnt the shit out of it). And it was STILL incredible and I ate it with no sadness at all. Because it was that delish! Thank you for making our Jamaican patty dreams come true, Rochelle – aka: baking magician

I confess that I’ve never had a Jamaican patty before I tried Rochelle’s. Yeah, I know. I’ve been missing out.
But once I tried them, they were so good that I became a huge fan. Since then, I’ve tried others at festivals and such. Most are pretty good, but NONE are as good as Rochelle’s. Especially the mango flavour, it is beyond description!

Oh wow. WOW! Amazing Jamaican patties – I tried the curry chickpea and potato, and the mango, and both are SO GOOD. I wouldn’t have known they were vegan – they were so flakey, and had a perfect mix of crispness and softness. I will absolutely be a repeat customer.
