Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets store-bought puff pastry, thawed
- 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) water
- Flour for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth them out. Cut them into 4×4 inch (10x10cm) squares.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each pastry square. Top with 5-6 blueberries.
- Fold the corners of the pastry toward the center to create a pinwheel shape, or leave them open for a rustic look. Press gently to seal.
- Beat the egg with water to create an egg wash. Brush it lightly over the pastries.
- Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheets and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
- Let the pastries cool for a few minutes before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm.
Notes
Work quickly to keep the puff pastry cold. Avoid overfilling to prevent leaks during baking. Experiment with different shapes for variety.
