These Mixed Berry Puff Pastry Tarts are the perfect treat for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a brunch or just craving something special. With minimal ingredients and effort, you can whip up these beautiful tarts in no time!
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 3 cups mixed berries (frozen or fresh) 🍇🍓
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice 🍋
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest 🍋
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup 🍁
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch 🌽
- 1 egg (for egg wash) 🥚
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. 🔥
2️⃣ Prepare the Berry Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, and cornstarch. Mix everything together until the berries are well-coated and the cornstarch is evenly distributed. This mixture will create a deliciously tangy and sweet filling that thickens beautifully as it bakes. 🍋🍁
3️⃣ Roll Out the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into 4 equal rectangles. Carefully transfer each piece onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced about 2 inches apart. 📏
4️⃣ Assemble the Tarts: Spoon the berry mixture into the center of each puff pastry rectangle. Be sure to leave about ½-1 inch of space along the edges. This will allow you to fold the edges over the berries, creating a rustic border that holds all the juicy goodness inside. 🍓🥄
5️⃣ Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash, which will help the tarts achieve that beautiful golden brown color during baking. 🥚
6️⃣ Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the tarts for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crispy. The berry filling should be bubbling and thickened. ⏳
7️⃣ Serve: Once baked, remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them warm, ideally with a scoop of homemade ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. 🍨
