Every summer, my grandmother would pick fresh blueberries and bake the most heavenly treats. This Blueberry Cream Cheese Puff Pastry brings back that same warm feeling. Golden, flaky, fruity, and creamy – it’s everything a dessert should be. Whether you’re making this for Sunday tea or a cozy family gathering, it’s guaranteed to impress!
18 oz fresh blueberries
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
Zest from 1 lemon
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp cornstarch
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 egg yolk
⅓ cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon juice
2 boxes puff pastry sheets
1 egg
1 tbsp water
¼ cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Preheat oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Make the Blueberry Filling: In a saucepan, combine blueberries, both sugars, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook on medium, stirring often, until thickened. Let cool.
Cream Cheese Mix: In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add egg yolk, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Mix well.
Assemble: Roll out puff pastry. Spread cream cheese mixture and blueberry filling on one sheet. Cover with another sheet.
Cut into diagonal strips, roll like crescents, and place on the baking sheet.
Egg Wash: Beat egg with water, brush over pastries.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm!
Cutting pastry before filling makes rolling easier.
