Scale
- 1 sheet Puff Pastry
- 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 tsp Lemon Zest, divided
- 2 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Strawberries, quartered
- 1 cup Blueberries
- Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll thawed puff pastry dough into 15 by 12 inch sheet. Cut into three 5×12 inch rectangles. Poke each rectangle with a fork several times.
- Bake puff pastry rectangles on a parchment lined baking sheet for about 25-28 minutes or until golden brown. Place on wire rack to cool completely.
- In a stand mixer, whip heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
- Slowly whip in sugar and 1 teaspoon lemon zest until stiff peaks form.
To construct:
- Plate one layer of puff pastry. Top with ⅓ whipped cream. Sprinkle on strawberries and blueberries and gently press into the whipped cream to make sure they stay in place.
- Top with another layer of puff pastry and gently press into previous layer to ensure it sticks to the whipped cream. Top new layer with more whipped cream and berries.
- Top with last ⅓ of puff pastry, remaining whipped cream and last of the berries.
- Sprinkle on last 1 teaspoon of lemon zest for garnish.
- Chill for up to 4 hours before serving, or serve immediately.
