Ingredients

  • 1 box puff pastry sheets 2 sheets
  • 1-8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract optional
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • Unfold puff pastry sheets and lay on a cutting board. Using a knife or pizza cutter cut into three equal strips. Cut each strip in half to make 6 rectangles
  • Place each rectangle on the baking sheet.
  • With a small paring knife lightly score another rectangle about 1 in from the edge. Use a fork to poke a few holes in the center. This will allow the outer edge to rise during baking.
  • In a medium bowl using a hand mixer add the softened cream cheese, sugar, almond extract, and vanilla and mix until creamy.
  • Spread equal amounts of the filling into the center rectangle
  • In a small bowl combine the blueberries and lemon juice and toss until coated. Add the blueberries evenly on top of the cream cheese.
  • In a small bowl whisk the egg and water, brush the egg wash around the outer edges of the pastry.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until the edges are golden brown and puffy.
  • Remove from oven and cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

You can add a glaze instead of powdered sugar over the top if desired. Mix together 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons milk until combined. Drizzle the icing over the top once the pastries have cooled a bit.
