Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, unfold the puff pastry sheets and roll them out slightly to even out the thickness. Cut each sheet into 8 equal squares (about 4x4 inches each).
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to create an egg wash.
Place the pastry squares onto the prepared baking sheets. Lightly brush the edges of each square with the egg wash.
Bake the puff pastry squares in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
While the pastry cools, prepare the lemon cream by whipping the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Fold in the lemon curd gently until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Wash and prepare the berries: hull and slice the strawberries, and leave the blueberries whole.
Once the puff pastry squares are completely cooled, carefully split them in half horizontally using a serrated knife.
Spread a generous spoonful of lemon cream onto the bottom half of each puff, and top with a mix of fresh strawberries and blueberries.
Place the top half of each puff pastry square back on top. Garnish with a small dollop of lemon cream, a berry or two, and a mint leaf.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful, zesty dessert!
