Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut into 4-inch squares.
- Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each square and top with a few blueberries.
- Fold the corners of each square towards the center, pinching them together to form a blossom shape.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
- Allow to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry remains cold while working with it to achieve the best puff during baking.
- You can substitute blueberries with other berries like raspberries or blackberries.
- For an added touch, drizzle with a simple lemon glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice.
