Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut it into equal squares.
Step 3: Fold or score the edges of each square slightly inward to create a border.
Step 4: In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolk, and lemon juice until smooth.
Step 5: Spoon a small amount of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each pastry square.
Step 6: Top with fresh blueberries or raspberries.
Step 7: Whisk the egg with water and brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash.
Step 8: Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
Step 9: Mix powdered sugar with milk to create a glaze and drizzle over the cooled pastries.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store pastries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes to restore crispness.
Avoid microwaving, as it may make the pastry soggy.
These pastries are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are made.
