A delightful and guilt-free dessert featuring light and flaky pastry filled with fresh berries.

Scale

1 package of high-quality all-butter puff pastry

1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Zest of 1 lemon

1 egg (for egg wash, or non-dairy milk and maple syrup for vegan version)

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut into 3×6 inch rectangles.
Place a mix of berries on one side of each pastry rectangle, leaving a small border.
Sprinkle lemon zest over the berries.
Fold the pastry over to seal the berries, pinch the edges, and twist to create a spiral shape.
Brush the tops with the egg wash (or non-dairy milk mixture).
Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

For a healthier alternative, use whole wheat puff pastry or agave nectar instead of powdered sugar.
