A simple yet elegant dessert featuring flaky puff pastry filled with creamy cream cheese and sweet blueberries.
Ingredients
Puff Pastry Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry Thawed
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup blueberries Fresh
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Cut it into squares, roughly 4x4 inches.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square, followed by a few blueberries.
- Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to form a pocket. Pinch the edges to seal and brush the tops with beaten egg.
Baking
- Arrange the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired.
Notes
Serve pastries warm for the best experience. They can be elevated with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
