Blueberry Cream Cheese Puff Pastry

Print Recipe

These delicious blueberry cream cheese puff pastries are made with a homemade blueberry filling along with a sweet cream cheese mixture spread over a puff pastry sheet, then topped with another pastry sheet, cut into diagonal pieces, rolled up like crescents and baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 18 ounce fresh blueberries
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 boxes puff pastry sheets
  • 8 ounce cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Rinse blueberries and place in a medium saucepan.
  3. Sprinkle blueberries with sugar, brown sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and cornstarch.
  4. Stir and heat over medium heat until blueberries burst and start to thicken. Stir frequently.
  5. Let cool.
  6. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  7. Add egg yolk, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice. Beat until well incorporated.
  8. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry sheets and place one pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet(s). *Cutting the puff pastry into the diagonal cuts before adding the fillings might be easier when rolling the pastries into crescents.
  9. Spread half the cream cheese mixture over puff pastry followed by half the blueberry mixture (might not use all of the cream cheese mixture or blueberry filling).
  10. Top with remaining puff pastry sheet.
  11. Make diagonal cuts and roll up like crescents. Repeat with remaining puff pastry sheets.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk egg and water together.
  13. Brush with egg wash and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  14. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
