Ingredients

• 8 ounces fresh strawberries
• 8 ounce fresh blueberries
• 1 package puff pastry (thawed)
• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened at room temperature)
• 1 T lemon juice
• ½ t lemon zest
• 2 T sugar
• ½ t vanilla
• 1 egg (room temperature)
• 1 T water

Note: you can use frozen berries, but should let them thaw to room temperature before putting on top.

Tools

• Star cookie cutter
• Rolling pin
• Paring knife
• Pastry brush
• Fork

Tips and Thoughts on This Recipe:

• Try to find an all-butter version of puff pastry (as opposed to cut with vegetable oil), because of better flakiness and flavor.
• Thaw the dough in the fridge from frozen. Don’t pull it out of the fridge until you are ready to work with it. You want it to be relatively cold when it goes into the oven (rechill before baking if necessary). Don’t unfold until fully thawed or it will crack.
• Don’t waste the scraps. Since you’re using a cookie cutter, you’re going to have some scraps. Pile the scraps onto each other and roll out again. You can use a pizza cutter to make squares. Then top with either the same ingredients as the recipe or something else like cinnamon sugar or parmesan cheese.
• Why use a paring knife on the edges and poke the center? Because it causes the edges of these tartlets to puff up while the centers will stay down.
• These are delicious served with a little powdered sugar on top and a bowl of vanilla ice cream!
• These are best eaten right away, but you can keep them in an airtight container for up to five days.

The number of finished pastries you can make greatly varies depending on the size of your cookie cutter. I had a rather large cookie cutter so these ended up being pretty big stars.

Fresh Fruit Frangipane Tart

Chef John

Everyone's going to think you picked up this fancy-looking fruit tart at a high-end bakery, so watch their jaws drop when you tell them you made it yourself. This recipe uses fresh pluots, but you can use any fresh fruit in season, including apples and pears. Watch the video to see how Chef John pulls it all together with ease and adds a final touch that gives it a professional bakery look.

Apple Tartlets

Allrecipes Magazine

If you can slice apples and warm up some apricot jam, you can make these super-easy apple tarts. Be sure to slice the apples thinly so they get tender when they bake. You can make individual squares, or one big tart to share. Home cook Marieclaire0924 says, "We loved it! I ended up using peach preserves instead of apricot because that is what I had on hand.Big hit at our party! Such a buttery, sweet taste!"

Peach Tartlets with Apricot Glaze

Buckwheat Queen

Here's another impossibly easy tartlet made with fresh peaches instead of apples. You could also substitute plums, nectarines, or pears. Home cook Casablancaise says, "The quickest dessert I've ever made ! And it is so yummy. I happen to usually have puff pastry in my freezer and couple of kinds of jam in the fridge. So this is going to be my go to recipe when ever a last minute dessert is needed."

Apple Turnovers

Allison TX

For this one, you'll cook the apples for a few minutes before filling and sealing the pastry triangles. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper so your turnovers don't stick if a little filling seeps out. Be sure to cook the cornstarch with the filling until it's quite thick.

Easy Apple Strudel

Taylor

The apples aren't precooked for this version, and you're making one big pastry instead of individual turnovers. You can cut slits into the top before baking to let the steam escape so the filling doesn't get too watery. Some reviewers went rogue and cooked the filling a bit before filling the pastry.

Black Walnut and Cherry Strudel

Tim Bodine

A cream cheese filling sweetened with sugar and made citrusy with lemon juice gives this cherry-filled strudel a tangy finish. You can use fresh or frozen cherries with delectable results.

Apple Galette

Meredith

Call it a tart or a galette or a topless pie. Whatever. This dessert is so simple, the submitter invented it in a hotel room kitchenette: A pile of spiced apple slices is mounded in the center of a puff pastry sheet, then the edges are folded up to form an edible pie plate. Bake it, cool it, slice it, devour it.

Allie's Delicious Baked Dumplings

J.D.

Can you handle one more version of apple-filled puff pastry? I hope so because you don't have to make thin apple slices for this one. Peeled and cored apple halves are wrapped in puff pastry squares with sugar-and-spice breadcrumbs, and baked until the apple inside is soft and tender.

Raspberry Pain au Chocolat (Raspberry Chocolate Croissants)

Chef Mo

Yes, croissants are usually a breakfast or brunch food, but who makes these rules anyway? Besides, this tempting treat is filled with hazelnut-chocolate spread and raspberry jam. Serve it warm with ice cream and see if anyone complains about breakfast for dessert.

Strawberry Napoleons

Melissa Goff

Puff pastry, instant pudding, whipped topping, and fresh strawberries make up this shortcut version of a classic Napoleon. Drizzle with chocolate before serving, if you want to get extra fancy.

Strawberry Cream Cheese Clouds

Danielle

Sweetened cream cheese and sliced strawberries are spooned into baked puff pastry shells to make picture-perfect individual desserts. Can you substitute other fruit and maybe garnish with mint leaves or edible flowers? Why, yes. Yes you can.

Lemon Berry Tartlets

Jessica Miller

So fancy yet so simple. Store-bought or homemade lemon curd is spooned into pastry shells and topped with fresh blackberries. Watch the video to see how easy they are to make.

Blackberry Puff Pastry Tarts

Sweetened cream cheese and blackberries (fresh or frozen) are baked in pastry shells to make these bite-sized lovelies.

Strawberry Kiwi Tartlets

LilPhotog

The recipe direction says to remove the kiwi seeds, but reviewers went ahead and left them in. The world didn't end, and the desserts turned out beautifully. See how that works?

Can puff pastry desserts be made ahead of time?

Can I prepare a recipe made with Puff Pastry ahead of time and bake it later? Yes, you can (with certain recipes). To simplify your day, you can prepare the recipe ahead of time, then bake as directed prior to serving.

Why is puff pastry so good?

In the oven, the liquid in both the butter and dough evaporates, causing the layers to puff. The butter melts into the dough giving it its golden color and crispy texture. The technique was perfected by the French but has been adopted by bakers all over the world.

How do you get the best results with puff pastry?

Always preheat your oven for a minimum of 15-20 minutes before baking, because Puff Pastry depends on even heat to rise and puff. Place pastries 1 inch apart. If you want a flaky thin and crispy pastry that's not very puffy, prick the unbaked Puff Pastry all over with a fork, which lets steam escape while baking.

What should puff pastry taste like?

Rough Puff Pastry Details Taste: Buttery, hardly sweetened, a little salty. Texture: Ahh, the best part. Each bite has oodles of crispy, crackly layers of light and buttery pastry. This pastry is one of the FLAKIEST doughs I've ever worked with and comes close to croissants territory.
