I can still remember the first time I tried a Bumbleberry Blossom. They are frozen mini tarts that come in a couple different flavors – one being a combination of mixed berries and apples. It was one of those food experiences where after just one bite in, I was in love.
Many, many years later, those little blossoms inspired this Mixed Berry Puff Pastry Tart – minus the apples – as well as the Mixed Berry Puff Pastry Napoleons that I love to make in the summer time!
This is a super easy recipe that’s great for holidays or any other kind of get together since it’s a multi-serving dessert with barely any prep work.
Why This Recipe Works
You can use any combination of berries. While I do use equal amounts of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, as long as you use 4 cups total, you can use whichever berries you prefer.
A little bit of cinnamon and brown sugar add a touch of warmth and balance the tartness of the berries.
This dessert can be served warm, cold, or at room temperature. It also goes great with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a scoop of ice cream.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Prep!
Set the puff pastry out to defrost for about 40 minutes before you begin baking.
Once your puff pastry is defrosted, and you are ready to begin, preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut larger strawberries into halves or quarters.
Create!
Roll the defrosted puff pastry out onto a baking sheet (I’m actually using a rectangular pizza stone) to smooth the creases. Don’t worry about the edges being perfect.
Place the berries in a colander and rinse well, then transfer to a medium size bowl.
Chef’s Tip: This recipe uses a combination of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. You can add any mix you like, just make sure you have the full 4 cups of berries.
Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and corn starch and mix gently to combine.
Spoon the berry mixture onto the puff pastry, leaving about a 1 1/2-inch bordered of pastry uncovered.
Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the berries, tucking the corners under.
Lightly beat the egg and brush onto the puff pastry. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the puff pastry is golden brown.
Present!
Serve as is, with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or with a scoop of ice cream!
