Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
4 oz cream cheese, softened
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, 1 tbsp sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook until thickened and berries begin to burst. Let cool completely.
2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, 2 tbsp sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth.
3. Roll out the puff pastry and cut into equal squares or rectangles.
4. Spread cream cheese filling on each square, followed by cooled blueberry compote.
5. Fold the pastry into triangles or rectangles, sealing the edges with a fork.
6. Brush tops with beaten egg.
7. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes, until golden and puffed.
8. Let cool slightly on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Let the blueberry filling cool completely before assembling to avoid soggy pastry.
For an extra pop of citrus, add a little lemon zest to the cream cheese filling.
If using frozen blueberries, simmer slightly longer to reduce extra moisture.
