Mother’s Day is coming soon and if you need a special dessert, I got you!  These fruit and cream tarts are so simple, can be assembled ahead of time and are utterly delicious!  They have a puff pastry base and are filled with a cream made from cream cheese, mascarpone, lemon zest and powdered sugar. Top them with any berries you want to and don’t be afraid to switch up the fruit. In the summer, when peaches are ripe, I love to top with fresh peaches 🍑

Fruit and Lemon Cream Tarts 
.
.
1 box of puff pastry (Im using pfpuffpastry brand which has 2 sheets… 1 sheet will make you 9 tarts) 
Egg wash (1 egg mixed with one tablespoon water)
Sugar to sprinkle on top of the dough 
Powdered sugar 

Lemon cream:
8 oz cream cheese, softened 
4 oz mascarpone cheese, softened 
1 cup powdered sugar
Zest of one lemon 
1 tsp pure vanilla 
Pinch of salt
Add all to a stand mixer and mix until smooth.  Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.  Can be made a couple days in advance and refrigerated 

Preheat oven to 400F. 
Cut the sheet of pastry dough into 9 equal squares. Score a border around each square being careful not to cut all the way through.  Dock the inside of each square with a fork. Brush each square with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.  Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and squash down the inside of each square to make room for the filling.  Let cool completely. 
I added the filling to a large ziploc bag, snipped off a corner and piped it into each tart.  Top with berries or any fruit you want.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar
