What Is the Stars and Stripes Dessert Recipe with Puff Pastry and Berries?

[ChefBeckyD]

I have a customer looking for a recipe she has had (her dog ate it!) I know what she is talking about but can't find it.....it may be in an old SB cookbook.

I think it was called Stars and Stripes dessert - and the crust was Puff Pastry with a cream cheese filling (I think) and berries over the top....does anyone have that recipe?
Thanks!

Is this it?Berries ‘N Stars

1 package (17.25 oz) frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
1 teaspoon sugar
2 lemons
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk!)
1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed & divided
2 pints strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 pint blueberries

Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll one sheet of puff pastry into 10 x 13-inch rectangle. Repeat with second sheet of pastry, rolling onto lightly floured surface. Using pizza cutter, cut four strips, 13 inches long and 1 inch wide, from second sheet of pastry. Reserve remaining dough for star decorations. Brush edges of pastry on baking stone with water. Lay strips of pastry over edges making an outer rim. Trim off any excess dough. Prick entire bottom of pastry with pastry tool. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. (Center may puff up slightly, but will flatten out as it cools.) Cool completely. Cut stars from remaining dough using a star cutter; sprinkle with sugar. Bake on baking stone 12 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, zest lemons to measure 1 tablespoon zest. Juice lemons to measure 1/4 cup juice. In a bowl, whisk together condensed milk, lemon juice and lemon zest. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of the whipped topping. Fill cooled pastry shell with filling. Slice strawberries. Arrange strawberries, blueberries and pastry stars over filling. Garnish with remaining whipped topping. Cut into 16 squares and serve.

Thanks Jennifer! I'm sure that must be it! She will be so happy! She had a consultant a year ago who did a show for her, and had asked her for the recipe, and the consultant told her to go online and find it herself! I told her I could find it for her no problem......I knew someone would have it!

Your welcome. I hope you have gotten a customer for life b/c it sure sounds like the other consultant did not take care of her!

Hi there! I am so sorry to hear that your customer's dog ate her recipe. That can be so frustrating! I did some digging and it looks like the recipe you are looking for is called "Patriotic Berry Tart" and it is indeed in an old SB cookbook. I have made it before and it is absolutely delicious. I'm happy to share the recipe with you if you need it. Just let me know and I'll send it your way. Happy cooking!
