Simple cream pie with berries

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet (240 g) puff pastry, thawed
  • 60 g cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup fruit jam or preserves, such as raspberry, strawberry, or apricot
  • 0.5 cup fresh berries

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry into a 27.5 cm square. Invert a 22 cm diameter pie plate and place it in the center of the square. Cut out a circle about 1/4 inch larger than the edge of the pie plate (set aside the trimmings for another use).
  3. Place the dough circle on a pie plate. Bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Immediately after removing from the oven, press the dough with the bottom of a heatproof measuring cup to flatten it (the crust will crumble a little—this is normal). Let cool completely.
  4. Prepare the filling:

    In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Pour in the heavy cream and beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (be careful not to overbeat).
  5. Spread the jam over the crust. Top with the cream filling and spread it evenly. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Garnish with berries, slice, and serve.
