Ingredients

Scale

1 pack (1lb) puff pastry, thawed

8 oz. (226g) Philadelphia cream cheese

1 egg

1/4 cup (50g) sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1.5 cup (300g) blueberries

Egg wash:

1 egg

1 tablespoon of water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F(205C).  Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Mix together softened cream cheese with sugar, add vanilla extract, egg and lemon zest.
  • A pack of 1 lb. puff pastry usually comes in two sheets.  Carefully separate them, take one and stretch it a little using a rolling pin. Cut each in half so you have 4 squares.
  • Place one of them on a lightly floured surface and stretch little bit using your hands or a rolling pin.  Spread 1/4 of filling over it and then add 1/4 of blueberries.
  • Cut slits apart from 2 sides of pastry. Starting at one end fold pastry strips over on a diagonal, alternating sides.
  • Repeat with remaining pastry squares.
  • Brush with egg wash.
  • Bake for 25 – 30 minutes.
  • For additional sweetness you can sprinkle strudels with powder sugar.
