Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 200 grams Mascarpone cheese
• 120 ml Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries
• 0.5 cup Fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cup Fresh raspberries
• 1 Egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Apricot jam

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the puff pastry sheets into 6 equal-sized squares or circles, depending on your preference.

Step 3

Score a smaller square or circle about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) inside the edge of each tart, being careful not to cut all the way through the dough. Prick the center of each pastry square lightly with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of the puff pastry squares with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 5

Transfer the puff pastry squares to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and puffed. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

Step 6

While the pastry is cooling, make the mascarpone filling. In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 7

Once the puff pastry has cooled, gently press down the center square to create a cavity for the filling.

Step 8

Spread or pipe the mascarpone filling into the center of each tart.

Step 9

Arrange the fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries) on top of the filling in a decorative pattern.

Step 10

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the apricot jam for 10-15 seconds to make it easier to spread. Using a pastry brush, lightly glaze the berries with the warmed jam to give them a beautiful shine.

Step 11

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before serving.
