1 packet of Puff Pastry Shells (I used Pepperidge Farms Brand)

1 small punnet of Blackberries

1 small punnet of Raspberries

Birds Custard Powder

3 tablespoons room temp Butter

1/4 cup sugar

200 mls Milk

2 packets of Fat Free Cream Cheese

1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence

Crio Bru Coaco Nibs

Melted Chocolate Chips

I haven't posted how to make the custard on this post but

You can follow  it from this post HERE

Heat your oven to the temp in the box of Puff  Pastry.

Cook for 18- 20 minutes till golden brown, leave to cool

*After making your custard, leave it cool. If you find it too thick, add some cream to thin it out.

Next you take your Blackberries & Raspberries, leaving some for decoration, and puree them.

 Blend you cream cheese

Add your Powdered Sugar

Add your butter & 2 large spoons of your blackberries & raspberries

Taste your cream cheese, I wanted mine more blackberrish :) so I added one more spoonful

Then added vanilla

Once cooled, I took off the tops and removed the middle, be careful not to remove it all as it will break the shells.

Plop a blackberry & raspberry into each puff shell.

Next plop, some of the custard mixture on top of the fruit.

Then on top of the custard, plop on your cream cheese mixture.

Don't discard the tops of the puff shells - use them for your Kiddies :)

Decorate with the melted choc chips and the remaining fruit

Then get ready to say..... Mmm Truly Scrumptious!
