Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 2 sheets puff pastry

Berry Filling

  • 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Whipped Cream

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Decoration

  • Fresh blueberries for decoration
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Shape pastry: Cut each sheet into a circle that fits your baking sheet.
  4. Bake pastry: Place the pastry circles on the baking sheet, prick with a fork, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
  5. Cool pastry: Let the pastry circles cool completely.
  6. Cook berry filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries and granulated sugar. Cook until the berries release their juice, about 5 minutes.
  7. Thicken filling: Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water, then add to the berry mixture. Stir and cook until the mixture thickens, then remove from heat and let it cool.
  8. Whip cream: In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  9. Assemble cake – layer 1: Place one pastry circle on a serving plate. Spread half of the whipped cream evenly over the pastry.
  10. Assemble cake – layer 2: Spoon the berry filling over the cream, spreading it evenly. Add another layer of whipped cream over the berry filling.
  11. Top cake: Top with the second pastry circle.
  12. Decorate: Decorate the top with fresh blueberries and a dusting of powdered sugar.
  13. Serve: Cut into slices and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Let the pastry circles cool completely before assembling to prevent the whipped cream from melting.
  • Use fresh or frozen berries depending on availability.
