Ingredients
For the Pastry
- 1 sheet thawed puff pastry
- 1 large egg for egg wash
For the Vanilla Cream Filling
- 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with coconut cream or dairy-free alternatives.
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar Adjust based on sweetness preference.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Blueberries
- 1 cup fresh blueberries Frozen blueberries can be used but may add extra moisture.
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into rings using two different sizes of cookie cutters or round objects.
- Place the rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush them with the egg wash.
Baking
- Bake the pastry rings in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool completely.
Filling Preparation
- While the pastry is baking, prepare the vanilla cream filling by whipping the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form.
- For the blueberry topping, combine the blueberries, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the blueberries begin to burst and thicken, about 5-7 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
Assembly
- Once the pastry rings are cool, fill the center with the vanilla cream and top with the blueberry mixture.
Notes
Best enjoyed with a light dusting of powdered sugar, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream. Can also be served with coffee or tea.
