INGREDIENTS

 

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, defrosted
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 package Tara at Home® Lime Crush Cheesecake mix
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups whipped topping, defrosted
  • 1½ cups strawberries, quartered
  • 1½ cups raspberries
  • 1½ cups blueberries
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • ⅓ cup apricot jam
  • fresh mint leaves, for garnish

 

Directions

 

  1. Roll puff pastry out into a 10”x14” rectangle. Use a paring knife to score pastry one inch from each edge of the rectangle. Do not cut all the way through the pastry. Pierce inside rectangle with a fork in several places to vent it.
  2. Brush pastry with beaten egg, transfer to a baking sheet, and bake in a preheated 425°F oven for 20 minutes on the lower rack of the oven. Remove pastry from oven and press inside rectangle with a flat spatula so that it is lower than the crust. Transfer shell to a rack and cool.
  3. While pastry is baking, prepare your Tara at Home® Cheesecake mix according to package directions. Place in fridge to cool.
  4. Mix berries in a bowl, sprinkle with sugar, and set aside.
  5. When pastry has cooled, spread cheesecake mix evenly over shell then top with berries.
  6. Melt apricot jam in microwave for about 40 seconds and brush it over berries.
  7. Garnish with mint leaves and cut into squares to serve.
