Ingredients

Blueberry Filling

Cream Cheese Mixture

Egg Wash

Glaze Drizzle

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Blueberry Filling

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add in blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stirring continuously, cook until berries start to burst, and a thick sauce forms.
  • Remove from heat and let cool.

Pastry

  • Cut each pastry sheet into 8 strips.
  • Take two strips of puff pastry and pinch the ends together to create one long strip.
  • Twist the strip until it forms a braided piece.
  • Place one end of the long, twisted strip down onto the parchment paper and wrap the dough around it, starting in the center and creating a pinwheel base. Poke the center 4 to 5 times with a fork.

Cream Cheese Mixture

  • In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add egg yolk, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Beat for 2 more minutes.
  • Add a heaping spoonful of cream cheese mixture to the center of each pastry followed by a spoonful of blueberry filling.

Egg Wash

  • In a small bowl, whisk egg and water together until combined.
  • Brush easy pastry with egg wash.
  • Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool.

Glaze Drizzle

  • Once the pastries have cooled, mix powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla together.
  • Drizzle each pastry with glaze and enjoy.
