Ingredients
  • 1 frozen puff pastry sheet, slightly thawed
  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • 7 oz. dairy-free cream cheese, softened
  • 4 Tbsp. potato starch
  • 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
  • 1-1/2 tsp. lemon extract
  • 3 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries & blackberries work well)
  • Lemon zest, to garnish
  • Mint leaves, to garnish
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven 400 degrees F. Slightly thaw puff pastry on counter before rolling it out.
  2. Meanwhile, heat saucepan over medium heat. Add coconut cream, cream cheese, potato starch and maple syrup. Simmer and stir constantly until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and place base of the pot in bowl of ice water. Whisk mixture as it cools. Add lemon extract and whisk until custard thickens and cools
  3. Roll out thawed puff pastry into rectangle shape. Use fork to score a 3/4-in. border around the edge. Then, use fork to prick the inside of the pastry (this keeps pastry from puffing up during baking). Do not poke through completely.
  4. Spoon half custard mixture onto middle of puff pastry and smear it evenly (avoid borders). Place berries on top of custard.
  5. Bake 20-22 minutes or until outer edges turn golden brown. To serve, garnish with lemon zest lemon and mint leaves.
