Recipe Info

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 8 pastries

🛒 Ingredients

For the Pastries:

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
4 oz (½ block) cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp granulated sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup blueberry preserves (or homemade blueberry compote)
1 egg (for egg wash)
1 tbsp water
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Optional Homemade Blueberry Compote:

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (for thickening)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

In a small bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
If making homemade compote, simmer blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat for 5–7 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken. Cool before using.

2. Prepare the Puff Pastry

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unfold the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 8 equal squares.

3. Assemble the Pastries

Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each square, then top with about 1 teaspoon of blueberry preserves or compote.
Fold two opposite corners toward the center and pinch lightly to seal (or keep open-faced for a Danish-style pastry).

4. Add Egg Wash

Whisk the egg and water together and brush lightly over the pastry edges for a golden finish.

5. Bake

Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
Cool for 5 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar or drizzling with glaze if desired.

Optional Glaze (for extra sweetness)

Mix ½ cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tsp milk and drizzle over cooled pastries.

💡 Tips

Use cold puff pastry to ensure maximum flakiness.
For a twist, swap blueberries for raspberries or strawberries.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat at 350°F for 5 minutes.
