Assembling the Pastry Braid

• Gently roll puff pastry a few times until square on a lightly floured surface.
• Cut two slits at each end of the pastry about 1 inch long.
  
• Next cut off the top and bottom side pieces at an angle (see above photo) and continue to make cuts into the pastry along each side making sure not to cut too close to the center where the filling will be.
• Spoon half of the cream cheese mixture down the center of each puff pastry leaving about 1½ inch free from filling at each end.
  
• Once the blueberry mixture has cooled, add about three heaping tablespoons of mixture on top of the cream cheese filling, gently spread, then repeat with the other puff pastry.
  
• Fold each end over the top of the filling and secure to prevent the mixture from leaking out.
• Once the ends have been secured, start folding each piece over each other like a braid and secure.
  
• Brush egg wash over both pastries and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown
  

Lemon Icing

• In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream, lemon juice and vanilla together until smooth. Add more heavy cream if needed for desired consistency.
