Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp sugar (for sprinkling)

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Shape Puff Pastry: Lightly roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into four equal squares, which will form the base for each pastry.
  4. Add Filling and Blueberries: Spoon approximately one tablespoon of the cream cheese filling into the center of each pastry square and top with a few fresh blueberries for added flavor and texture.
  5. Form Pastries: Fold the corners of each pastry square inward to create a pocket, then press the edges firmly to seal the filling inside, which helps prevent leakage while baking.
  6. Apply Egg Wash and Sugar: Beat the egg lightly and brush it over the surface of each pastry. Sprinkle sugar on top to add a sweet, shiny glaze and a slight crunchy texture once baked.
  7. Bake Pastries: Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until they have puffed up and achieved a beautiful golden brown color.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the pastries cool slightly on a wire rack to allow the filling to set and to make them easier to handle before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling and cutting for easier handling.
  • You can substitute fresh blueberries with frozen ones, but do not thaw before adding to keep excess moisture from softening the pastry.
  • Brush the egg wash gently to avoid tearing the delicate puff pastry.
  • To make these pastries ahead, assemble and refrigerate before baking; add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time if baking cold.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
