Ingredients

  • 400 g puff pastry, ready-made or homemade
  • 1 egg, for egg wash
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar
  • 200 g cream cheese, softened
  • 60 g granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 200 g blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 50 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 50 g all-purpose flour
  • 40 g cold butter, cubed
  • 40 g brown sugar
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, 60 g granulated sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolk, and lemon zest until smooth. Set aside.
  3. In a saucepan, combine blueberries, 50 g sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 4–5 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Let cool completely.
  4. Roll out puff pastry into a 30 x 40 cm rectangle and place on the lined tray.
  5. Cut strips 8–10 cm wide along both long sides of the pastry, leaving the center uncut.
  6. Spread the cream cheese filling down the center of the pastry, then spoon the cooled blueberry filling on top.
  7. For the streusel, rub butter into flour, brown sugar, and salt until crumbly.
  8. Fold pastry strips alternately over the filling to create a braided ring or oval shape.
  9. Brush the pastry with beaten egg, then sprinkle the streusel and coarse sugar over the top.
  10. Bake for 25–30 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  11. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use frozen blueberries without thawing for convenience.
  • Fillings can be made a day ahead and refrigerated.
  • For a twist, swap blueberries for raspberries or strawberries.
  • Let the blueberry filling cool fully before assembling to prevent sogginess.
  • Serve with coffee or tea for a complete brunch experience.
