Method

1

Roll out thawed puff pastry thinly and slice into 1 cm strips. Arrange them as shown in the video. Next, lift strips 1, 3, and 5, lay down a vertical strip, and return 1, 3, and 5 to their original position. Then lift strips 2, 4, and 6, lay down another vertical strip, and continue the pattern. Trim the excess dough. Braid a rope of dough and wrap it around the base of the baking mold.

2

Shape additional curved braids to serve as the basket handles. Brush all the pastry pieces with an egg wash made from egg yolk and milk, then bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35 to 45 minutes.

3

For the filling, whip chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, then gently fold in softened room-temperature mascarpone. Remove the cooled pastry shell from the mold and layer it with the cream and fresh berries. Garnish as desired and gently press the baked handles into the cream on the sides.
