Ingredients




All-purpose flour, for work surface 
1 sheet puff pastry (1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package)
3 cups blackberries (12 ounces)
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup mascarpone cheese

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 2 Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pastry dough into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. 3 Use a sharp knife to trim the edges and cut the pastry into eight 3 x 5-inch pieces. 4 Put the pastry on a large baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, approximately 15 minutes. 5 Transfer the baking sheet to your oven and bake until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. 6 Let cool, then split each pastry horizontally. 7 In a bowl, mash the blackberries and sugar with a fork until juicy but still chunky. 8 Spread mascarpone on pastry bottoms. 9 Top with blackberry mixture and pastry tops.
