Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

All-purpose flour, for dusting
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 pint blueberries
2 cups halved strawberries
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the tarts: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, lay out the puff pastry. Cut the puff pastry sheets in half, making 4 rectangles. Place 2 puff pastry rectangles on each sheet pan. Set aside.
  • Add the blueberries and strawberries to separate bowls. Divide the granulated sugar and lemon juice between the bowls. Season each with a pinch of salt and stir until well combined.
  • Divide the blueberries between 2 of the puff pastry rectangles, leaving a 1/4-inch border on all sides. Do the same with the strawberries and the remaining puff pastry rectangles. Pinch the corners of each rectangle, creating a slight lip. Brush the edges with the cream.
  • Bake in the lower half of the oven until golden and crisp, about 20 minutes.
  • For the whipped cream: While the tarts bake, add the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to a large bowl. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip until soft and billowy. Transfer to a serving bowl and chill until ready to serve.
  • Transfer the tarts to a cutting board. Let the tarts cool slightly before slicing approximately 6 times across each tart to create thin slices. Transfer to a serving platter. Scatter the mint leaves over the tart pieces and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve alongside the whipped cream.

1/4 cup sugar
2 large egg yolks

  • Make sure the shortbread crust is well chilled before baking. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from becoming too crumbly.
  • Bake the shortbread crust until it is golden brown. This will ensure that it is cooked through and has a nice flavor.

  • Use a variety of fruits for the filling. This will create a colorful and flavorful tartlet.
  • Don't overfill the tartlets. The filling should be level with the top of the crust.
  • Chill the tartlets for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set and make it easier to slice.
