Ingredients

Scale

Blackberry Filling

  • 12 ounces blackberries (fresh or frozen)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Turnover Ingredients

  • 17.25 ounces puff pastry (1 package, two sheets, thawed)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Glaze Ingredients

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk (more as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Place blackberries, granulated sugar, water, salt, and fresh lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the blackberries break down and release their juices. Stir in the cornstarch and continue cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
  2. Assemble Turnovers: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled blackberry filling in the center of each square. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of each square with the egg wash.
  3. Fold and Seal: Fold each pastry square diagonally to form a triangle, carefully enclosing the filling while keeping it away from the edges. Press the edges together firmly with a fork to seal. Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Cut 3 small slits on top of each turnover or poke holes with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking, preventing bursting.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the turnovers for 18 to 21 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool before adding the glaze.
  5. Prepare the Glaze and Finish: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and heavy cream (or milk) until smooth, adding more liquid if necessary to achieve a drizzle-friendly consistency. Once the turnovers have cooled mostly, drizzle the glaze evenly over each one. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh blackberries, but frozen can be used as well—just thaw them beforehand.
  • Ensure the puff pastry remains cold before handling to maintain flakiness.
  • The glaze can be made thicker or thinner by adjusting the amount of liquid added.
  • These turnovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • To reheat, warm gently in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes to restore crispness.
