Why this recipe works

The best part of this recipe, it’s really hard to mess it up!

This is one of the easiest dessert recipes on my blog! Despite its simplicity, it has a ton of flavor and texture! The pastry has delicious buttery flakes, while the berries (together with ice cream) provide the creaminess. You also will have a complex sweet and tart flavor combination from the baked mixed berries.

Ingredients for puff pastry tarts with mexed berries.

How to make it

Before we start making the recipe, we need to thaw the pastry dough. Just leave it on the counter for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400˚F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, mix together frozen mixed berries, lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, and cornstarch (Photos 1-4).

Roll out the thawed dough and cut it in 4 rectangles. Place each piece on a baking sheet 2 inches apart (Photo 7).

Scoop the berry mixture between 4 pastry sheets, leaving about ½-1 inch on the edges. Then fold the edges over the berries (Photos 8-9).

Brush the edges with egg wash (Photo 10).

Bake the tarts at 400˚F for about 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden/brown color.

Serve it warm with a scoop of homemade Vanilla Ice Cream.

Tips for best results

Puff Pastry. When thawing the dough, don’t try to unfold it right away, or it will crack. Let it sit on the counter for about 20-30 minutes, then carefully start to unfold it step by step. Also, make sure it doesn’t get too warm, otherwise it won’t rise.

Cornstarch. I would not recommend to skip this ingredient. The berries will produce a lot of juices while baking and will be too runny without the cornstarch.

Options and Substitutions

Mixed Berries. I like to use a mix of frozen berries, as I always keep them in my freezer. So, when I want to make the dessert I have them on hand. You also can you any fresh berries you have at home.

Maple Syrup. If you don’t have maple syrup, you can use honey and regular sugar instead.

Egg. If you don’t want to use eggs in this recipe, you can use melted butter or milk as “an egg wash”.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Can I make these tarts ahead of the time? Yes, but they won’t taste the same. I always like to make this recipe right before I want to serve it. This way it will be warm to serve with a scoop of ice cream on top and the pastry will be perfectly flaky.

Can I reheat it? You can reheat it at 325˚F for about 15 minutes. However, when you reheat dough it won’t be as flaky as freshly baked.

      Not that big. I just roll it to even it out.

    I love this recipe. It was so simple, yet delicious I had to substitute orange juice and zest, and it still came out great. I used fresh strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. Yum!

    Instead of making individual tarts could you just make one big tart. If so would you cook it the same amount of time

    Way too easy to make. So delicious.

    We had a special family dinner a few nights ago and my dough to apple filling for our requested turnover dessert was a little off. Your recipe had popped into my feed earlier that day, and the ingredients called for are our usual on hand items, so it was nothing to pull the recipe back up, half the berry recipe, and make a very tasty dessert with the remaining thawed dough. Even my berry hating son enjoyed his bite enough to steal another off my plate.

    Unfortunately, this was way to easy to put together. We have 5 sheets of puff pastry dough left in the freezer and I’m having a seriously tough time getting the berry tart out of my head. I’m sure I’ll survive, though. At least I know how easy our next dessert will be. So thank you.

      Hi Vanessa! You can read more about it in FAQ section. You can store them for 1-2 days in the fridge, but they won’t taste as good as freshly baked.

        Can you prep them ahead of time (not bake) then pop in the oven right before dessert time?

    Looks delish!! If using frozen berries, do I thaw before using?

      Hi Debby! It doesn’t really matter, but I usually take the berries out of the freezer about 15-20 minutes before making this dessert.
