Ingredients
- 4 oz. mascarpone cheese, room temperature
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/4 cup lemon curd (homemade or from a jar)
- 1 sheet purchased puff pastry, defrosted
- 1 egg, whisked
- 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
- Lemon zest, for garnish
Instructions
- Lemon Mascarpone:
- Into a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, lemon curd and milk.
- Using a hand mixer, beat until the ingredients are combined and the mixture is smooth.
- The Rest:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface lightly roll out puff pastry. Using a 3¾-inch round biscuit cutter, or the rim of a glass or bowl, cut out 6 circles from the puff pastry. Lay the circles on the prepared baking sheet.
- Lightly brush the tops of the puff pastry with egg.
- Bake until puffed and light golden brown, about 10 minutes. As soon as the puff pastry is removed from the oven, lightly press it down with the back of a spatula so that the surface of each round is flat.
- Lift the puff pastry pieces from the baking sheets and let cool on wire racks.
- Assembly:
- Spread a heaping tablespoon of the lemon mascarpone on each puff pastry round.
- Divide the berries evenly between the rounds.
- Garnish with some lemon zest. Serve.
