Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry

  • 2 sheets Puff Pastry (pre-made or homemade)

Berry Filling

  • 2 cups Mixed Berries (strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch

Cream Filling

  • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Workspace: Gather all your ingredients along with necessary baking equipment such as a baking sheet, mixing bowls, and a wire rack to ensure a smooth workflow.
  2. Bake Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the puff pastry sheets on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes or until they become golden brown and crisp.
  3. Cool Pastry: Remove the baked puff pastry sheets from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely so that the pastry remains crisp and ready for layering.
  4. Prepare Cream Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, creating a smooth and stable whipped cream.
  5. Prepare Berry Filling: In another bowl, gently combine the mixed berries with granulated sugar and cornstarch. This mixture will thicken slightly and sweeten the berries, making it perfect for layering.
  6. Assemble: Start by spreading a generous layer of the whipped cream on one sheet of cooled puff pastry. Next, add a layer of the berry mixture. Repeat this layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cream or berries as desired.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to firm up for easier slicing.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Before serving, optionally garnish with fresh mint leaves or additional berries for an elegant touch. Slice carefully and enjoy this delightful dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure the puff pastry is fully cooled before assembling to maintain crispness.
  • Use fresh, ripe berries for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Chilling the cake is essential to let the filling set and enhance flavor melding.
  • For added flavor, you can macerate the berries with lemon zest or a splash of liqueur.
  • Handle the assembled cake gently to keep the layers intact while slicing.
