Do not dock borders

Puff pastry is a type of laminated dough. This recipe is simple and convenient. Since one package of puff pastry has 2 sheets, I made them both today. One is going to my husband's office and one went to the neighbors. I hope the little kids like the mixture of fresh fruit and pudding.
