Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting or glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Roll out puff pastry slightly and cut into 8 squares or rectangles.
- Place a spoonful of cream cheese mixture in the center of each piece and top with a few blueberries.
- Fold or shape pastries as desired, leaving edges open or folding corners toward the center.
- Brush tops with egg wash.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Let cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze if desired.
Notes
- Add lemon zest to cream cheese for extra brightness.
- Swap blueberries for raspberries, strawberries, or peaches for variety.
- Use frozen blueberries directly without thawing to prevent soggy filling.
- Chill unbaked pastries before baking for a flakier finish.
- Reheat in the oven to restore crispness—avoid microwaving.
