These Lemon Berry Cheesecake Puff Pastries are filled with a sweet lemon cheesecake then topped with a bright and cheery lemon curd then finished off with fresh berries and lemon zest. They’re so gorgeous, people will think you spent hours slaving away on them. When really, they are so simple you can throw them together in no time!
You guys!! I just bought a big box of blueberries for .99 cents! Naturally I purchased several, because… .99 cents! Blueberries!!
I’m a little excited about it.
This is my favorite time of year. Berries are in season, lemons are put in everything!
Lemon Berry Cheesecake Puff Pastries
I’m using the frozen, store-bought puff pastry dough to whip up these incredibly easy and delicious bakery-style tarts.
The filling is a simple cream cheese and lemon mixture that gives a creamy cheesecake taste.
Top with your favorite summer berries, like raspberries, blueberries, blackberries or even strawberries for the perfect balance of sweet and tart.
Light and fluffy lemon cheesecake is baked on top of some once frozen puff pastry dough… so simple. The pastry dough puffs up around the edges for a light and flaky crust. Once the cheesecakes are cooled you simply scoop on some jarred lemon curd, top it with fresh berries, a dusting of powdered sugar and some lemon zest for an extra punch of lemony flavor.
They’re simply gorgeous, and taste phenomenal!
Wouldn’t these be perfect for your next gathering?
You could even just set out the baked puff pastry and let your guests fill them with all sorts of berries, jams, ice cream… I mean, c’mon! So easy!
I hope you give these delicious puff pastries a try today!

Lemon Berry Cheesecake Puff Pastries
Ingredients
- 1 puff pastry sheets, box frozen (thawed according to package instructions)
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, fresh
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 cup lemon curd, found either by the jellies or pie fillings
- assortment of fresh blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries
- powdered sugar
- optional: extra lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cut the both sheets of dough to make 12 small rectangles. Lay the dough on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- In a bowl beat the cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla until smooth. Add the egg and beat until combined. Divide the cheesecake mixture among the 12 pastries, leaving space around the edges. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastries are a light golden brown. Let cool completely.
- Divide the lemon curd among the cooled pastries. Top with your desired fresh berries then dust with powdered sugar before serving. If desired, sprinkle with extra lemon zest for a nice pop of flavor. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
Followed the recipe and it was absolutely perfect ! Easy, pretty, full of flavor, and a crowd pleaser.
I made these this weekend for my grandchildren who were visiting from Kitchener. I hid a couple away to have this week, but they found them and devoured the lot! I did manage to have a small taste, and they were delicious!!
I’m making these for an Easter brunch and was wondering if they would be fine to make a day early and keep in the fridge? Or should I make them the day of?
I love how super easy and delicious these little tarts are. The lemon-y berry flavour is perfect for Summer too!
These look absolutely delish! I love the idea of adding fresh fruit!
I recently made a cooking and baking blog, too.
