Description

A delightful flaky pastry filled with creamy custard and a medley of fresh berries, perfect for breakfast or dessert.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for custard)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine mixed berries, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  3. In a saucepan, whisk together milk, egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, and flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
  4. Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface to a 12×10-inch rectangle. Spread the custard evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
  5. Spoon the berry mixture over the custard. Carefully roll up the pastry from the long side, tucking in the ends. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Brush the top with melted butter and make a few slits to vent steam. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
