How To Make Joanna Gaines Blueberry Puff 

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
3. Rinse the blueberries and transfer them to a medium-sized pot.
4. Sprinkle sugar, brown sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cornstarch over the blueberries.
5. Stir the mixture and heat it over medium heat until the blueberries start to pop and the mixture thickens. Remember to stir frequently.
6. Once done, set the mixture aside to cool.
7. In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese for about 2–3 minutes, or until it becomes smooth.
8. Add the egg yolk, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice to the cream cheese. Beat the mixture until it’s thoroughly combined.
9. Lightly flour a surface and roll out the pastry sheets on it. Place one of the rolled-out pastry sheets on the prepared baking sheet.
10. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture and half of the blueberry mixture over the puff pastry. You may not need to use all of the cream cheese mixture or blueberry filling.
11. Place the second puff pastry sheet on top of the fillings.
12. Cut diagonal slashes into the puff pastry and fold them up to form crescents. Repeat this process with the remaining puff pastry sheets.
13. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
14. Brush this egg wash over the puff pastry.
15. Bake the puff pastry in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until it turns golden brown.
16. Dust the baked puff with powdered sugar before serving.

Recipe Tips

1. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the pastries from sticking to the pan and to make cleanup easier.
2. When preparing the blueberry filling, make sure to remove any stems or leaves from the fresh blueberries before placing them in the pot.
3. As you sprinkle the sugars, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cornstarch over the blueberries, ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed to enhance the flavor balance.
4. Stir the blueberries frequently while heating them over medium heat. This prevents them from sticking to the bottom of the pot and promotes even cooking.
5. Once the blueberry filling starts to thicken and the blueberries have popped, remove the pot from the heat and allow the filling to cool. It will continue to thicken as it cools.

What To Serve With Blueberry Puff?

Blueberry Puff Pastry Bake pairs well with a variety of toppings, some of my favorites are Whipped Topping, Vanilla Ice Cream, Cinnamon and Sugar Mixture, Chopped Nuts (like pecans, walnuts, or almonds), and Lemon Zest.

How To Store Leftover Blueberry Puff?

• In the fridge: To store blueberry puffs, refrigerate leftovers by placing it in an airtight container. Keep it in the fridge for up to 2-3 days .
• In the freezer: You can freeze blueberry puffs for 2-3 months by wrapping individual portions tightly in plastic wrap.

How To Reheat Blueberry Puff? 

• In the oven: Reheat the blueberry puff in a preheated oven at 300°F for 10 to 15 minutes, covered with foil.
• In the microwave: place individual portions of blueberry puff on a microwave-safe plate and heat on medium power in short intervals.

Can I Make Blueberry Puff Ahead of Time?

Absolutely, preparing Blueberry Puff ahead of time is possible and quite simple. Start by assembling the blueberry sauce and puff pastry pieces as per the recipe. Once assembled, cover the dessert and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to bake, uncover the dessert and transfer it directly to the oven.

Make sure that you may need to add a few extra minutes (5-10 min) to the baking time. Alternatively, you can prepare the blueberry filling in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. This way, the filling is ready to use when you’re ready to bake the dessert.

Can I Make Blueberry Puff In A Different Pan?

Yes, while cooking desserts in a skillet provides even cooking and a rustic presentation, you can certainly use a different dish for making Blueberry Puff. A 9-inch square baking dish or a 9 or 10-inch round cake pan would be suitable alternatives.

What Can I Use Frozen Instead Of Fresh Blueberries In Blueberry Puff?

While fresh blueberries are the best choice for this recipe, you can also use frozen blueberries as an alternative. If you’re using frozen blueberries, remember that they are cooked on a stovetop and if you’re cooking them right from frozen, the time it takes for the mixture to come to a boil may be slightly longer.
