These tarts are flaky, buttery, and bursting with sweet blackberries. Trust me, once you make these, you’ll want to keep the ingredients on hand for every gathering.

Blackberry Puff Pastry Tarts

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Get that oven hot and ready to work its magic.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Cut it into squares, about 4×4 inches. You want them just big enough to hold all the goodness.
  3. In a bowl, mix together the fresh blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. This combo is going to be the star of the show, so make sure those berries are well-coated!
  4. Place a spoonful of the blackberry mixture in the center of each pastry square. Don’t get too generous; you don’t want it to spill out when baking!
  5. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling, creating a pretty little tart. Pinch and seal the ends to keep all that goodness inside.
  6. Brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg. This will give your tarts a beautiful golden color.
  7. Place the tarts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until they’re puffed and golden.
  8. Once out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes. Dust a little powdered sugar on top, and they’re ready to be served!

And there you have it! A simple, yet mouth-watering dessert that’ll impress any guest. Perfect for a summer picnic, family gathering, or just because you deserve a treat. Don’t forget to save a few for yourself because no one can resist these incredible tarts!
