Description

Indulge in the delightful contrast of creamy cheesecake filling and crispy, golden puff pastry in these Blueberry Cheesecake Puff Bombs. Each bite bursts with the sweet-tart flavor of fresh blueberries, complemented by a rich, velvety cream cheese center that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Puff Pastry: 1 package (17.3 oz), thawed
Cream Cheese Filling: 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Sugar: 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Blueberries: 1 cup fresh blueberries
Egg Wash: 1 egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 3-inch squares.
Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each square, followed by a few blueberries.
Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a pouch and seal tightly.
Brush the tops with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Arrange the puff bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.

Notes

Make-ahead: You can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Substitutions: Use frozen blueberries if fresh ones are unavailable, but thaw and drain them first.
