Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cup Fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup Fresh raspberries
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Apricot jam
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the puff pastry sheets into 6 equal-sized squares or circles, depending on your preference.
Score a smaller square or circle about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) inside the edge of each tart, being careful not to cut all the way through the dough. Prick the center of each pastry square lightly with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of the puff pastry squares with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Transfer the puff pastry squares to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and puffed. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
While the pastry is cooling, make the mascarpone filling. In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and slightly thickened.
Once the puff pastry has cooled, gently press down the center square to create a cavity for the filling.
Spread or pipe the mascarpone filling into the center of each tart.
Arrange the fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries) on top of the filling in a decorative pattern.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the apricot jam for 10-15 seconds to make it easier to spread. Using a pastry brush, lightly glaze the berries with the warmed jam to give them a beautiful shine.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before serving.
