Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 8-10
Ingredients
  • 1 (8-9 ounce) sheet of puff pastry
  • 3 cups, fresh berries of your choice (I used blueberries and strawberries. Cut strawberries to be as small as blueberries.)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 egg, for egg wash
  • ½ tbsp coarse sugar or granulated sugar
  • GLAZE:
  • ⅓-1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • ½-1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Line an edged cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Place and center the unrolled puff pastry sheet on the lined cookie sheet.
  4. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the prepared berries, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp cornstarch, lemon zest, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Mix well until all the berries are coated.
  5. Carefully pour prepared berries out into the center of the puff pastry sheet. Make sure to leave 2 inches of space around all the edges.
  6. Use kitchen shears or a knife to cut slits 2 inches apart along the edge of the puff pastry (see step-by-step photo). This makes folding it up easier and gives a nice rustic look to the finished dessert.
  7. Fold up the edges, trying to overlap a little if possible.
  8. Next, whisk up the egg to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash, and then sprinkle with the coarse sugar.
  9. Add small dollops of the 1 tbsp butter on top of the berry mixture.
  10. Place in oven for 35-40 minutes or until the center is thickening and edges are nicely browned. If edges start to get more than browned, you can lightly place a piece of foil over the dessert to finish cooking.
  11. Remove from oven and allow to cool almost completely before adding the glaze.
  12. Make the GLAZE:
  13. In a small bowl, stir or whisk together the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice. I used ⅓ cup powdered sugar and about a tbsp of lemon juice. If you prefer, you can use vanilla and a little milk in place of lemon juice.
  14. Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  15. Enjoy!
