What Kind of Puff Pastry Should I Use?

For this recipe, store-bought frozen puff pastry works beautifully and saves time. Just make sure it’s made with real butter for the richest flavor and best flake. Thaw it in the fridge overnight or on the counter for about 30 minutes until pliable but still cool.

How To Make the Blueberry Cream Cheese Puff Pastry

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Roll and Cut the Pastry

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to smooth any creases. Cut into 4 or 6 rectangles depending on your preferred serving size.

Step 3: Fill and Fold

Add a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture to the center of each pastry piece. Top with a few blueberries. Fold the corners toward the center and gently press them down to seal.

Step 4: Egg Wash and Bake

Whisk the egg with a tablespoon of water. Brush over each pastry for a golden finish. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes or until puffed and golden.

Step 5: Cool and Dust

Let pastries cool slightly on a rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Serving and Storing These Puff Pastries

These pastries are best served warm when the cream cheese is soft and the pastry is still crisp. Pair them with a hot cup of coffee or a chilled glass of milk.

To store, let them cool completely, then place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes to regain crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, but thaw them first and pat dry to avoid excess moisture which can make the pastry soggy.

Do I have to use vanilla extract?

Vanilla enhances the flavor, but you can substitute with almond extract or leave it out entirely.

What if I don’t have an egg for the wash?

You can use milk or cream as an alternative to give a nice sheen to the pastry.

Can I freeze the baked pastries?

They freeze well! Let them cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven.

How can I make them more dessert-like?

Drizzle with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
