Berry Puff Twists are delightful, flaky pastries filled with a sweet mixture of mixed berries and cream cheese. Perfectly golden and tender, these twists are easy to make using puff pastry sheets and are ideal for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 2 sheets Puff Pastry, thawed

Filling

  • 1 cup Mixed Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), chopped if large
  • ¼ cup Granulated Sugar (plus extra for sprinkling)
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

For Glaze

  • 1 Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Powdered Sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. Prepare the Berry Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to mix and set aside so the flavors meld.
  3. Roll Out the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, unroll each sheet of puff pastry and roll gently to smooth out any creases. Cut each sheet into 6 equal strips, giving you 12 strips total.
  4. Assemble the Twists: Spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese on half of each pastry strip. Then spoon a small amount of the berry mixture over the cream cheese. Fold each strip over and twist gently into a spiral, sealing the ends tightly to hold the filling inside.
  5. Bake the Twists: Place the twisted pastries onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with a little granulated sugar for a glossy, sweet finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the twists are puffed up and golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the twists from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch.

Notes

  • Ensure the puff pastry is thoroughly thawed but still cold for easier handling and better puff.
  • Chop larger berries like strawberries to ensure even filling distribution.
  • Do not overfill the strips to prevent leakage during baking.
  • Egg wash and sugar topping enhance the golden color and add a subtle crunch.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
