"Berry pies were always my favorite growing up, especially around the holidays when pumpkin or pecan tended to be the go-tos. This slabbed out version took shape from my memories of warm triple berry pie topped with ice cream (the way it melts gets me every time!), and it sort of reminds me of a giant, super sharable Pop-Tart. Instead of mixed berries, you could use frozen blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries or your preference of a mix thereof. I opted for frozen fruit here so you could make this all year round, as well as store bought puff pastry, but of course you could use fresh fruit (just let it macerate with the sugar and drain the juices!) and homemade pie dough. No need to let the fruit thaw, just grab it, weigh it, and use it straight from frozen. If you don’t like cardamom, don’t worry, it’s optional and can be swapped for cinnamon or left out completely. If you don’t have ice cream or want to serve it with something a bit lighter, you can opt for an unsweetened or lightly sweetened whipped cream instead."

Step 2/4

If the store-bought puff pastry doesn’t come on parchment already, place (or roll out) both sheets on individual sheets of parchment paper and use your hands to gently smooth out any creases. Using the parchment paper, transfer one sheet of dough to a baking sheet. Transfer berry mixture to the center of the puff pastry on the baking sheet, leaving a 2,5 cm/1-in. border all the way around.
