Delicious Blackberry Cream Cheese Puff Pastry Tarts

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Blackberry Cream Cheese Puff Pastry Tarts.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven warms up, lightly grease a cookie sheet to prepare for the puff pastry shells. This will help them bake evenly and prevent sticking.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, white sugar, and ground cinnamon. Blend them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set this delicious filling aside for later use.

3. Step 3

   Now, place the thawed puff pastry shells on the prepared cookie sheet. To give them a beautiful golden finish, brush each shell with a bit of milk and sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar. This will add a delightful crunch and sweetness to the crust.

4. Step 4

   Bake the pastry shells in the preheated oven for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until they puff up and turn a lovely golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to ensure they don’t overbake. Once done, remove them from the oven and carefully use a fork to lift off the caps from each shell. Set these caps aside for later.

5. Step 5

   Next, take the cream cheese mixture and spoon about 2 tablespoons into each puff pastry shell. Top the cream cheese with 6 to 8 blackberries, allowing their juicy goodness to shine through. Finally, place the pastry caps back on top of each filled shell, creating a delightful little package of flavor.

6. Step 6

   Return the filled pastry shells to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is warm. The aroma will be irresistible!
