Ingredients
Puff pastry sheet — 1 sheet (thawed)
Blueberries — 1 cup (150 g), fresh or frozen (thawed and drained)
Cream cheese — 4 oz (113 g), softened
Powdered sugar — 2 to 3 tablespoons
Granulated sugar — 2 tablespoons
Cornstarch — 1 tablespoon
Lemon zest — 1/2 lemon
Lemon juice — 1 teaspoon
Vanilla extract — 1/2 teaspoon
Egg — 1
Milk or water — 1 to 2 teaspoons
Salt — 1 pinch
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the filling by whisking cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice. In a separate bowl, toss blueberries with granulated sugar and cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Step 2: Prepare the puff pastry. Roll thawed pastry to about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thickness on a lightly floured surface. If using a full sheet, cut into six equal squares or rectangles depending on shape. Keep pastry cold to maintain flakiness; refrigerate cut pieces briefly if warm.
- Step 3: Assemble the fillings and portions. Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each pastry square or rectangle. Top with a generous berry filling, leaving space around the edges for sealing.
- Step 4: Seal and crimp the edges. Moisten edges with water, fold to seal (triangle or rectangle), and crimp with a fork or pinch to seal. If edges crack, brush with a little water to help them stick.
- Step 5: Apply egg wash and vent. Whisk the egg with milk to create a wash; brush tops. Lightly score or vent with small holes to allow steam to escape.
- Step 6: Bake and cool. Transfer turnovers to a parchment-lined sheet and bake at 400°F (205°C) for 18–22 minutes until golden. Cool 5–10 minutes before serving; dust with powdered sugar if desired.
