These turnovers are so good! It tastes like blueberry cheesecake inside of puff pastry. THEY ARE DIVINE!
This recipe makes 12 turnovers.
Ingredients:
3 sheets of puff pastry
3 oz. softened cream cheese
1 egg yolk
1/4 tsp. lemon zest (you can use more if you want)
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar (divided)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup fresh blueberries
2 tsp. corn starch
1/8 tsp. salt
Egg wash (1 egg beaten with a splash of cream, milk, or water)
Powdered sugar (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the blueberries, salt, corn starch, lemon zest/juice, and 1/2 of the sugar (1/4 cup).
In another small bowl, cream together the cream cheese, 1/4 cup of sugar, vanilla, and egg yolk.
Roll out the puff pastry so that it is about a 10 x 10 square.
Cut out 4 circles per sheet of pastry. (I use about a 5 inch round bowl).
Put about 2 tsp. of the cream mixture in the center of each circle. Then add about a tablespoon of the blueberry mixture on top of that.
Brush your egg wash all around the edges of each circle.
Fold over each turnover into half moon shapes. Use a fork to seal it.
Cut a small slit on each turnover. Brush them with more of your egg wash.
Bake for about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar!
