This is a super quick and easy dessert to serve up, giving you time to relax and unwind with friends and family.

    Mixed Berry Pastries with Maple Mascarpone Cream

    These Berry Pastries are such a handy recipe to have on hand during the busy Holiday season. They may look and sound five-star, but they are seriously simple to whip up, freeing up your time to relax and unwind with friends during the busiest time of year.

    There is very little required in terms of assembly, and every component can be made-up ahead of time.

    Win win! Simply:

    • Bake your puff pastry rounds,
    • Whip up the mascarpone cream,
    • Thaw some berries.

    When the time for dessert comes around, it's just a matter of arranging everything into a nice little stack and sitting back down at the table with your impressive festive treat.

    Don't worry, no one will suspect how easy it was!

    Berry Pastries Allow You To Enjoy your Guests and Family!

    What is better than spending Christmas or any Holiday evening actually being able to enjoy the company of your guests, and enjoying good food at the same time?

    Ok, someone else doing the dishes might be better...we can all dream!

    Mixed Berry Pastries

    Use a Mixture Of Berries In Your Berry Pastries: Fresh Or Frozen, Doesn't Matter.

    Just use whatever berries you have on hand.

    If it's winter where you live then you might want to invest in some organic frozen berries. I like to use a mixture of the following:

    • Strawberries
    • Blueberries
    • Blackberries
    • Pomegranate

    Sprinkle some crushed pistachios on top of your berry pastry dessert and you find yourself with a heavenly combination.

    Can Anything Be Made Ahead Of Time?

    Yep. All of it.

    Make the pastry discs up and leave them aside to cool.

    Mix the mascarpone pastry cream and store covered in the fridge until ready to use. Thaw those berries and allow to sit in the fridge as well.

    When dessert time rolls around just assemble and away you go.

    Ingredients

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 425F

    • Place rounds on prepared tray and prick all over with a fork. Pop another layer of baking paper on top, followed by another baking tray (to keep the pastry flat)
    • Pop in the oven and bake for 6 minutes when the pastry should be golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool
    • Meanwhile, whip the cream with the maple syrup and vanilla essence. Once thickened, gently fold in the mascarpone

    Hello and welcome, I'm Donna!

    I am so glad you are here!

    Since I have a part-time job, 3 little kids, and a love of good food (as do you I assume), I have learned how to get the most out of the kitchen in the smallest amount of time.

    Forget about hunting down weird ingredients and making trips to specialty shops.

    We are going to make the most of what is available at the store and farmer's markets all whilst enjoying some delicious meals the whole family (hopefully...if you have fussy eaters I guarantee nothing) will enjoy.

    Pop on that apron and let's get creative in the kitchen!
