Ingredients

For the Blueberry Filling:

1 ½ cups fresh blueberries

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Cream Cheese Mixture:

4 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 egg yolk

½ teaspoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Egg Wash:

1 large egg

1 ½ teaspoon water

For the Glaze Drizzle:

½ cup powdered sugar

1 ½ tablespoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Pastry:

1 box puff pastry sheets

Instructions

  • Prepare the Blueberry Filling: In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until berries burst. Mix cornstarch with water and add to the blueberry mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened. Let cool.

  • Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: Beat together cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.

  • Prepare the Puff Pastry: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out puff pastry and cut into small squares or rectangles.

  • Assemble the Pastries: Place a spoonful of cream cheese mixture on each pastry square. Top with a spoonful of blueberry filling. Fold corners or edges to form pockets or triangles. Seal gently.

  • Apply the Egg Wash: Whisk together the egg and water. Brush the tops of each pastry with the egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.

  • Bake: Arrange pastries on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  • Make the Glaze: While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Adjust consistency with more lemon juice if needed.

  • Glaze the Pastries: Once baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over each pastry.

  • Serve: Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!

Notes

Fruit Variations: Use raspberries, strawberries, or mixed berries for a different twist.

Lemon Cream Cheese: Add extra lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture for an extra citrus boost.

Nutty Touch: Sprinkle chopped almonds or pecans on top of the pastries before baking for added texture.

Mini Tart Version: Press puff pastry into muffin tins for mini tarts instead of folding.
