What Are Berry Cream Pastry Puffs?

Berry Cream Pastry Puffs are delicate pastries made from puff pastry dough, baked until golden and flaky, then filled with a luscious whipped cream mixture and topped with fresh berries. The contrast of textures—the crunch of pastry and softness of cream and berries—makes each bite a little moment of heaven.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Puff pastry sheets (store-bought or homemade)
Fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
Heavy whipping cream
Powdered sugar (for sweetness)
Vanilla extract (for flavor)
Optional: a dusting of powdered sugar for garnish

How to Make Berry Cream Pastry Puffs

1. Prepare the Puff Pastry

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
Cut the pastry into squares or circles (about 3-4 inches in diameter).
Place the cut pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Using a fork, lightly prick the center of each piece to prevent excessive puffing.
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

2. Make the Whipped Cream

In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Adjust sweetness to your liking.

3. Assemble the Pastry Puffs

Once the pastry has cooled, slice each piece horizontally or create a small cavity in the center.
Spoon or pipe a generous amount of whipped cream onto the bottom half.
Top with a colorful mix of fresh berries.
Add the top layer of pastry (if sliced) and gently press down.
Dust with powdered sugar for a pretty finish.
