  • 1 large 1 large egg (for egg wash)
  • 200 g 200 g mixed fresh berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 tsp 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Extra powdered sugar for dusting optional
  • Chopped pistachios for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Baking tray
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Food processor or plastic bag & rolling pin (for biscuits)
  • Chef's knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, ground cardamom, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a large rectangle (approximately 5mm thick). Cut it into squares, about 10 cm x 10 cm.
  4. Place a generous spoonful of the cream cheese filling in the center of each pastry square. Fold the corners towards the center to create an envelope shape. Seal the edges with a fork.
  5. Beat the egg and brush a thin layer over each pastry for a golden finish.
  6. Place the pastries on the prepared baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and flaky.
  7. Once baked, allow the pastries to cool for 5 minutes before topping with an assortment of fresh berries. Dust with powdered sugar or sprinkle with chopped pistachios if desired.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, try using a plant-based cream cheese alternative.
Don't hesitate to get creative with your berry choices; blackberries and cherries would also work wonderfully.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
These pastries can be reheated in a toaster oven for a few minutes to regain their flakiness.
Enjoy your baking adventure!
