Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 cups fresh mulberries (or frozen)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water (for cornstarch slurry)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened (optional)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
  • Optional: powdered sugar for glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan, combine mulberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until berries release their juices.
  3. Mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water to create a slurry, then stir into the berry mixture.
  4. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thick and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  5. Roll out thawed puff pastry slightly on a floured surface and cut into 4-inch squares.
  6. Lightly score a smaller square inside each pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border without cutting all the way through.
  7. If using cream cheese, spread a thin layer inside the scored center.
  8. Spoon cooled mulberry filling into the center of each pastry square.
  9. Whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush along the pastry edges.
  10. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  11. Cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with powdered sugar glaze if desired.

Notes

  • Allow filling to cool fully before assembling to prevent soggy pastry.
  • Do not overfill to ensure proper puffing.
  • Keep puff pastry cold until ready to bake.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to restore crispness.
