Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Unfold the thawed puff pastry and roll it out gently. Cut into 12 equal rectangles, placing them on a baking sheet.
  3. Score a border around each rectangle and poke holes in the center to prevent puffing.
  4. Combine softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
  5. Toss blueberries with sugar and lemon juice, then spoon cream cheese filling and blueberry mixture onto each rectangle.
  6. Whisk egg with water and brush on the edges of each pastry.
  7. Bake for about 18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  8. Mix powdered sugar with heavy cream to create icing and drizzle over cooled pastries.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
