Berry Puff Pastry Tart (Patriotic Dessert)
Description
The Berry Puff Pastry Tart (Patriotic Dessert) begins with a puff pastry sheet rolled into a rectangle, with a scored border to create a defined edge as it bakes. Baking the pastry before adding the filling produces a crisp, golden crust that holds shape and prevents sogginess.
The filling is a whipped mixture of softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, producing a light and creamy layer that contrasts the flaky pastry. Once the pastry has cooled, the filling is spread inside the border, leaving the edges clean for an attractive presentation.
Fresh blueberries and raspberries are arranged over the cream cheese layer to form a flag pattern, highlighting their vibrant colors. An optional dusting of powdered sugar can add a finishing touch, enhancing the tart visually and offering extra sweetness.
Ingredients
- 8 1/2 oz puff pastry sheet thawed according to package instructions
- 6 oz cream cheese softened
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup blueberries
- 2 cups raspberry
Instructions
- While puff pastry thaws, preheat oven to 400˚F. Place thawed puff pastry sheet over a lightly floured sheet of parchment or silpat and roll dough into a 10x12” rectangle.
- Transfer the dough and parchment paper to a baking sheet. Score the dough 1/2" from the borders with a pizza cutter or a knife, making sure not to cut all the way through. The 1/2" strips should still be attached and when baked, it will create a border.
- Using a fork, poke all around the bottom of the pastry (do not poke the 1/2" border). Bake in the center of a preheated oven at 400˚F for about 20 minutes or until browned then remove and cool to room temperature.
- Beat cream cheese with 2/3 cup sugar and 2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream and 1/2 tsp vanilla until smooth and whipped (2 minutes on high speed). Spoon over the center of the cooled pastry and spread evenly (keep the border clean for a pretty presentation).
- Arrange berries over the top in a flag pattern and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Berries will keep well up to a day in the refrigerator.
