Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unfold the thawed puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly score a ¾-inch border.
  3. Using a fork, prick the center of the pastry to prevent bubbling while baking.
  4. Whisk together the egg and a splash of water, then brush the mixture over the pastry's edge.
  5. Sprinkle turbinado sugar evenly over the crust’s border.
  6. Bake until the edges are puffed and golden brown, about 15 to 18 minutes.
  7. Allow the puff pastry to cool completely on the baking sheet.
  8. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar, then gradually add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until fluffy.
  9. Spread the creamy filling within the scored borders of the cooled pastry and arrange fresh berries on top.
  10. Serve immediately for optimal freshness, or store covered in the fridge for up to one day.
