Ingredients

Scale

For the Pastry:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 large egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

For the Vanilla Cream Filling:

  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream

For the Blueberry Topping:

  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

For Garnish:

  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Blueberry Topping:

  1. Cook the Blueberries:
    • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Make the Vanilla Cream Filling:

  1. Mix the Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth. Set aside.

Assemble the Pastry Rings:

  1. Prepare the Pastry:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into 4-6 equal squares. Cut a smaller circle out of the center of each square, creating a ring shape. (Use the center cutouts to make mini pastries if desired!)
  2. Layer the Filling:
    • Place the pastry rings on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar. Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the center of each ring, spreading slightly. Top with the blueberry mixture.
  3. Bake:
    • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Serve:

  1. Garnish:
    • Allow the pastries to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Substitute raspberries or blackberries for the blueberries for variety.
  • These pastries are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for 5 minutes to crisp the pastry.
  • Add a drizzle of lemon glaze (powdered sugar + lemon juice) for an extra touch of sweetness.
