Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Frozen puff pastry
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 3 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 1 Egg
- 1 tbsp Water
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheet according to the package instructions. Roll it out slightly on a floured surface to form a rectangle.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl, mix the blueberries with the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Set aside.
Place the puff pastry on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the cream cheese mixture down the center of the pastry, leaving about 3 inches on each side. Spoon the blueberry mixture on top of the cream cheese layer.
Using a sharp knife, cut diagonal strips (about 1 inch wide) along both sides of the pastry. Fold the strips over the filling, alternating sides to create a braid pattern. Pinch the ends to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush it over the braided pastry.
Bake the braid in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
While the braid cools slightly, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled braid.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Blueberry Breakfast Braid!
