Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1 cup fresh blueberries
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Lightly flour a surface and roll out puff pastry to smooth the folds. Cut into 4 to 6 rectangles.
3. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
4. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each pastry rectangle. Top with blueberries.
5. Fold over the pastry or shape as desired. Press edges to seal or braid.
6. Brush the top with egg wash for that golden finish.
7. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
8. Cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or almond extract to the filling.
If using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain well to avoid excess moisture in the pastry.
