Description
A light and elegant layered dessert made with golden puff pastry, fluffy vanilla whipped cream, and fresh berries. Crisp pastry meets silky cream and juicy fruit for a refreshing treat that looks impressive but is surprisingly simple to make.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 2 cups heavy cream, cold
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Place the thawed puff pastry sheets on the prepared baking sheet and prick lightly with a fork.
- Bake for about 15 minutes until golden and crisp, then allow them to cool completely.
- Cut each baked pastry sheet into equal rectangles for layering.
- Spread whipped cream on one pastry layer, add a mixture of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
- Place another pastry layer on top and repeat the layering with cream and berries.
- Finish with a final layer of cream and scatter additional berries over the top.

- Allow pastry to cool completely before adding cream.
- Pat berries dry after washing to prevent watery filling.
