Red, White and Blue Puff Pastry Tarts

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Unroll puff pastry sheets and, using a large star-shaped cookie cutter, cut each sheet into 4 stars. You will have 8 total. You can use the scraps of the dough to make smaller stars for decoration. Place the stars on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 13-15 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste and the lemon zest until combined.

To assemble, spread each star with a generous spoonful of the mascarpone mixture. Arrange the strawberry slices and the blueberries on top of the mascarpone. Garnish with lemon zest, a small puff pastry star or fresh whipped cream.
