Ingredients

• 1 sheet light puff pastry, thawed
• ¾ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp powdered erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
• ½ tsp lemon zest
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make the Blueberry Filling
In a small bowl, toss blueberries with cornstarch, sweetener, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir to coat and set aside.

Prepare the Pastry
Unfold the puff pastry and cut into 8 equal squares. Place the squares on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly score a smaller square inside each piece to create a border (don’t cut all the way through). Prick the centers with a fork.

Fill and Brush
Spoon a small amount of the blueberry mixture into the center of each pastry. Beat the egg and brush the outer edges of the pastry with the egg wash.

Bake to Perfection
Bake for 14–16 minutes, or until the edges are golden and puffed and the blueberries are bubbling. Remove from oven and cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for Success

• Use Cold Pastry – Keep the puff pastry chilled until ready to use for best rise.
• Don’t Skip the Lemon – It brightens and enhances the blueberry flavor.
• Customize It – Try raspberries, strawberries, or even a dollop of light cream cheese.
• Add a Glaze – A light drizzle of lemon glaze can dress them up for a special occasion.
