Lemon Berry Puff Pastries {With Homemade Lemon Curd}

Filed Under: Dessert Recipes, Recipes

Tracking Pixel
Homemade lemon curd, fresh berries, and ready-made puff pasty shells combine for a refreshingly simple dessert. Thank you Pepperidge Farm for inspiring and sponsoring this delicious recipe.

Lemon Berry Puff Pastries
The month of May makes me think of the color yellow. It is bright, beautiful, and fresh with spring and hints of summer. It also makes me think of my favorite scent, lemons. Lemon is my all time favorite scent, lemonade is my favorite drink, and yellow is one of my favorite colors.

Lemon Berry Puff Pastries
I’d been craving lemon curd lately so this was the perfect opportunity to make up a quick batch and add some of my favorite fresh berries on top. How pretty would these pastries be for a brunch, baby shower, or even a backyard summer dinner? The best part is that they come together without the effort of making puff pastry from scratch. I’ve done that several times, and while it isn’t hard to make, it does take pretty much all day. It definitely isn’t something that you could just whip up.

Homemade Lemon Curd (recipe below)

Homemade Lemon Curd
Have you made lemon curd before? It takes about 15 minutes, is incredibly easy to make, and a heck of a lot cheaper than buying a jar from the store. You need fresh lemons, sugar, egg yolks, and butter. That’s it.

Homemade Lemon Curd

1/3 c. fresh lemon juice

1 tsp. lemon zest

1/2 c. sugar

5 T. butter

4 egg yolks

Combine all ingredients into a sauce pan (except for the butter) and heat on med-high. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon, scraping the sides as well, until it thickens and sticks to the spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in butter, 1 T. at a time.

Transfer to a bowl and cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour before using. It will thicken and set up as it refrigerates.

While the curd is in the refrigerator, prepare Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry shells. These are as easy as heating the oven to 425 degrees, and setting them on a baking sheet. No thawing necessary. Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Look how much they puff up! The steam during baking makes the layers rise about 8 times higher.

Once the pastries have cooled, remove the tops and fill with a scoop of lemon curd.

lemon tarts

 Garnish with your favorite seasonal fruits and serve.

Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry can be found in the freezer isle of the grocery store and comes in cups, sheets, or shells. Each is the perfect blank slate to add your favorite toppings or fillings. Will you go savory with some chicken or cheese or will you go sweet with pie fillings and creams? I still can’t decide which I prefer which is why I will just have to continue to make both.

    I can’t wait to make these, however I noticed the measurement for the butter wasn’t included in the list of ingredients. I’m guessing it’s a half a stick of butter by the photo? Thank you again for your wonderful ideas!

    Can the lemon curd be canned?

      I haven’t canned it before, but have friends who have! I think you can use a water bath canner to process them.

    Do you have a powerful blender? I make my lemon curd in my Blendtec. It takes half the time and is even easier if you can imagine that!
