Ingredients

Scale

Blackberry Jam

10 oz. Frozen or Fresh Blackberries
4 tbsp. Honey
2 tbsp. Flour
1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon

Puff Pastry Twists

1 sheet Frozen Puff Pastry, thawed
4 oz. Goat Cheese, softened
3 tbsp. Granulated Cane Sugar
1 Egg, beaten

To Serve

BUBBL’R Triple Berry Breez’r (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Make the Blackberry Jam: In a saucepan, combine the blackberries, honey, ground cinnamon, and flour. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until thick and jam-like. Add 1 tablespoon of water if too thick. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Prepare Oven and Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy clean-up.
Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of the prepared blackberry jam with the softened goat cheese. Stir well until fully blended and smooth.
Assemble Puff Pastry: Lay the thawed puff pastry sheet flat on a lightly floured surface. Spread the blackberry and goat cheese mixture evenly over one half of the pastry. Fold the pastry in half lengthwise to cover the filling.
Cut and Twist: Slice the folded pastry into ½-inch wide strips. Take each strip and twist it several times, then place them spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Glaze and Sugar: Brush the beaten egg over each pastry twist to give a golden color when baked. Sprinkle the granulated cane sugar evenly over the twists for added crunch and sweetness.
Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the puff pastry is golden brown, flaky, and cooked through.
Serve: Allow the twists to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature alongside a glass of BUBBL’R Triple Berry Breez’r for a perfect pairing.

Notes

Using frozen blackberries is fine; just thaw before cooking.
Ensure puff pastry is fully thawed before working to avoid cracking when twisting.
For a vegan version, substitute goat cheese with vegan cheese and use a plant-based egg wash or milk alternative.
The pastry twists are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
