Ingredients
 

  • For the Puff Pastry:
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries or frozen, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • For the Cream Cheese Filling:
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg for egg wash, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Prepare the Blueberries: In another bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the blueberries.
  • Roll Out the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth it out. Cut it into 8 equal squares (about 4x4 inches each).
  • Assemble the Pastries:
  • Place about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese filling in the center of each pastry square.
  • Top with a spoonful of the blueberry mixture.
  • Fold the corners of the pastry square towards the center, pinching to seal, or leave them open for a more rustic look.
  • Brush with Egg Wash (Optional): If using, beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the pastries for a golden finish.
  • Bake: Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow the pastries to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for added sweetness.
