Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
  • 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup raspberries
  • ½ cup blackberries

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out the 1 puff pastry sheet on a baking sheet and prick all over with a fork. Bake until golden and puffed, about 12-15 minutes. Let cool completely.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk the 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. In another bowl, whip the 1 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks.

  3. 3

    Fold the whipped cream into the pudding gently until smooth. Spread the cream mixture evenly over the cooled pastry crust.

  4. 4

    Top with the 0.5 cup raspberries and 0.5 cup blackberries. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Chill for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
