- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp water
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In another bowl, toss blueberries with lemon juice and cornstarch.
- Roll out the puff pastry and cut into rectangles or squares.
- Spoon a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each pastry piece, followed by a spoonful of blueberries.
- Fold the edges slightly or shape as desired (e.g., braid, pinwheel).
- Beat egg with water and brush over the edges of the pastries.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
- Allow to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if desired.

- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- You can drizzle with icing instead of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
