Ingredients
Triple Berry Filling
- ½ cup blueberries
- ½ cup raspberries (can substitute strawberries)
- ½ cup huckleberries (can substitute blackberries)
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
Puff Pastry Tarts
- 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
Triple Berry Frosting
- ½ cup confectioners powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons berry syrup from the berry compote
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Sprinkles of choice
Instructions
- Make the Triple Berry Filling: Place blueberries, raspberries, and huckleberries into a saucepan with sugar over medium-high heat. Stir and gently crush the berries as they cook, bringing the mixture to a rolling boil. Add the corn starch and stir well. Let the compote bubble for about a minute until thickened, then remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.
- Prepare Puff Pastry for Tarts: Roll out the puff pastry sheet into a large rectangle on a clean surface. Cut it into 8 equal-sized smaller rectangles. On one half of each rectangle, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooled berry compote, spreading evenly but leaving edges free for sealing.
- Seal the Pastries: Fold the other half of the puff pastry over the filling to create a sealed rectangle. Use a fork to press down and crimp the edges firmly, then poke a few holes in the top of each tart with the fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Air Fry the Pop Tarts: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Place the tarts in the basket with space between each one for air circulation; cook in batches if needed. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown. Carefully remove and let cool on a wire rack or plate.
- Prepare the Triple Berry Frosting: In a medium bowl or measuring cup, whisk together confectioners powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of the berry syrup from the compote, and lemon juice until a smooth, pourable glaze forms.
- Glaze and Decorate the Pop Tarts: Drizzle the frosting over the cooled pop tarts generously. Add your choice of sprinkles on top for a festive touch. Serve and enjoy your fresh, homemade air fryer pop tarts!
Notes
- You can substitute raspberries with strawberries and huckleberries with blackberries if unavailable.
- Ensure the berry filling is fully cooled before assembling pastries to prevent sogginess.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the model of your air fryer; watch for golden brown pastries as a visual cue.
- Use a chilled bowl for the frosting if preparing in a warm kitchen to keep the glaze smooth.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and enjoy within 2 days for best freshness.
