What Kind of Puff Pastry Should I Use?

Ingredients for the Blueberry Cream Cheese Puff Pastry

• Puff Pastry Sheets: The crispy, flaky base that turns golden and puffed in the oven.
• Cream Cheese: Adds a tangy, creamy richness that pairs beautifully with fruit.
• Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the cream cheese filling and boosts blueberry flavor.
• Vanilla Extract: Adds depth and warm aroma to the filling.
• Lemon Zest: Brightens up the filling with a hint of citrus.
• Blueberries: Fresh or frozen, they become juicy gems when baked.
• Egg: Beaten for an egg wash that gives the pastry its signature glossy finish.
• Powdered Sugar (optional): For dusting just before serving.

How To Make the Blueberry Cream Cheese Puff Pastry

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If your puff pastry isn’t thawed yet, let it sit until it becomes easy to work with.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Filling

In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy. You want a spreadable consistency that isn’t too runny.

Step 3: Assemble the Pastries

Unfold the pastry sheet and cut it into squares or rectangles. Add a dollop of cream cheese filling to the center, followed by a spoonful of blueberries. Fold over or leave open-faced, depending on your shape preference.

Step 4: Egg Wash and Bake

Brush the edges or tops with the beaten egg. This creates that lovely golden sheen. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until puffed and deeply golden.

Step 5: Cool and Dust

Let the pastries cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm for ultimate gooeyness.

How to Serve and Store Blueberry Cream Cheese Puff Pastry

These pastries are best enjoyed warm, fresh from the oven when the cream cheese is gooey, and the blueberries are bubbling. They’re excellent with a hot cup of coffee or an iced latte.

To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5-6 minutes to bring back their flakiness.
