Description
Delightful pastry rings filled with blueberry and creamy vanilla, perfect for breakfast, brunch or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of puff pastry (two sheets, thawed)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring until juices release, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Add to the blueberry mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes until thick.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out puff pastry and cut out circles (4 inches in diameter).
- Cut out centers using a smaller cutter (2 inches) to form rings. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush pastry rings with egg wash.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Let cool on a wire rack.
- Whip heavy cream and gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until stiff peaks form.
- Dollop or pipe vanilla cream into the centers of cooled pastry rings and top with blueberry filling.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
