Blueberry Cream Cheese Puff Pastry Recipe

Blueberry Cream Cheese Puff Pastry is the perfect blend of flaky, buttery pastry, creamy cheesecake filling, and sweet-tart blueberries.

Equipment

  • - 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

Instructions
 

  • **Preheat the Oven:** Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • **Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:** In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • **Prepare the Blueberries:** In a separate bowl, toss the blueberries with cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Set aside.
  • **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.
  • **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.
  • **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.
  • **Egg Wash:** In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the egg wash over the pastry for a golden finish.
  • **Bake:** Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  • **Cool and Serve:** Let the pastries cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
