Ingredients

• 1 package (2 sheets) Frozen puff pastry sheets
• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Fresh blueberries
• 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tbsp Water
• 1 Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions. Once thawed, roll them out slightly to smooth the creases.

Step 3

Cut the puff pastry sheets into 4-inch squares (you should get about 8 squares total). Place the squares on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.

Step 4

Score a small border, about 1/2 inch from the edges, on each square without slicing all the way through. This helps the edges of the tarts puff up during baking.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling into the center of each pastry square, spreading it evenly but staying within the scored borders.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat until the blueberries begin to soften and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 8

Top each tart with a spoonful of the blueberry mixture, spreading it gently over the cream cheese filling.

Step 9

Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it lightly along the edges of the puff pastry to give it a golden sheen during baking.

Step 10

Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

Step 11

Allow the tarts to cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your fresh, flaky, and creamy blueberry cream cheese tarts!
