Berries And Stars
👉Ingredients
1 package (17.25 ounces) frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
1 teaspoon sugar
2 lemons
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
2 pints strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 pint blueberries
👉Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll one sheet of puff pastry into 10 x 13-inch rectangle. Repeat with second sheet of pastry, rolling onto lightly floured surace.
Using pizza cutter, cut four strips, 13 inches long and 1 inch wide, from one sheet of pastry. Reserve remaining dough for star decorations.
Now with the second pastry sheet: brush edges of pastry on cookie sheet with water. Lay the 13x1” strips of pastry over edges making an outer rim. Trim off any excess dough. Prick entire bottom of pastry with a fork. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. (Center may puff up slightly, but will flatten out as it cools.) Cool completely.
Cut stars from remaining dough using a star cutter; sprinkle with sugar. Bake on cookie sheet 12 minutes or until golden brown. (You can add these to the same sheet and remove when ready.
Meanwhile, zest lemons to measure 1 tablespoon zest. Juice lemons to measure 1/4 cup juice. In a bowl, whisk together condensed milk, lemon juice and lemon zest. Gently fold in 1 and 1/2 cups of the whipped topping. Fill cooled pastry shell with filling. Slice strawberries. Arrange strawberries, blueberries and pastry stars over filling. Garnish with remaining whipped topping (optional). Cut into squares and serve.
