1 box puff pastry shells, not to be
confused with puff pastry sheets
1 package (3.3 oz) instant white chocolate
pudding
1 cup milk
1½ cups sweetened whipped cream
1 cup assorted fresh berries, such as
strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, sliced strawberries
¼ cup orange-flavored liqueur, such a Triple Sec
Melted chocolate, if desired, for garnishing
 |
| Be sure to purchase puff pastry shells, not sheets! |
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place
puff pastry shells onto baking sheet and bake for approx. 15 minutes or until
golden brown. Remove from baking sheet to cool on wire rack. Immediately
press centers of shells down to create ‘ baskets’.
In a mixing bowl, combine pudding with milk
and whisk until smooth. Fold in whipped cream and set aside in
refrigeration for later use. In a bowl, drizzle fruit with liqueur and
let fruit marinate for 20 minutes.
To assemble: Spoon prepared pudding
mixture into each berry basket. Top with marinated fruit, letting fruit
and juices fall down over sides of puff pastry baskets. Drizzle with
melted chocolate, if desired. Serve at once.
Makes 6 beautiful berry baskets!
