Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Mixing bowls
• Hand mixer or whisk
• Pastry brush
• Knife or pizza cutter

Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp sugar (for blueberries)
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tbsp water
• Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Blueberries: In a separate bowl, toss the blueberries with cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Set aside.
4. Roll Out the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, unfold the puff pastry sheet. Cut it into rectangles or squares, depending on your desired shape.
5. Assemble the Pastries: Place a spoonful of cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry piece, then top with a small spoonful of the blueberry mixture. Be careful not to overfill.
6. Fold and Seal: Fold the pastry over the filling to create a pocket or leave the filling exposed for an open-faced look. Press the edges together with a fork to seal, if necessary.
7. Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the egg wash over the pastry for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
9. Cool and Serve: Let the pastries cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.

Expert Tips

• Thaw Properly: Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed but still cold to prevent tearing when handling.
• Prevent Soggy Pastries: Drain any excess liquid from the blueberry mixture before adding it to the pastry.
• Customize the Filling: Swap blueberries for raspberries, strawberries, or even chopped apples for a different flavor profile.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, frozen blueberries work well. Make sure to thaw and drain them to prevent excess moisture.

How do I store leftovers?
Store leftover pastries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to refresh their crispiness.

Can I make these ahead of time?
You can assemble the pastries a few hours in advance and refrigerate them until ready to bake.

What if I don’t have puff pastry?
You can use crescent roll dough or make a quick homemade pastry dough as a substitute.

Can I freeze these pastries?
Yes, freeze them unbaked on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Storing & Reheating

• Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a crisp texture.

Substitutions & Variations

• Different Fruits: Try blackberries, cherries, or diced peaches instead of blueberries.
• Glaze Option: Drizzle a simple powdered sugar glaze over the top for added sweetness.
• Savory Twist: Skip the sugar and use cream cheese with spinach or herbs for a savory version.
