Ingredients

Scale
For the Croissants
  • 2 sheets pre-made puff pastry (frozen or refrigerated)
  • 1 egg, whisked (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting)
For the Jam
  • 2 cups frozen wild blueberries (or substitute with fresh berries)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Juice of 1/2 small lemon
For the Cream Filling
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pastry
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
  2. If using frozen puff pastry, thaw according to package instructions until pliable but still cold. If using refrigerated, skip this step.
  3. Lightly roll out the sheets with a rolling pin.
  4. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares (about 5 inches each), making 8 squares total.
Step 2: Shape and Bake the Croissants
  1. Brush each square with egg wash, then fold into a triangle, sealing the edges.
  2. Brush the tops with more egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar (optional).
  3. Bake for 22-25 minutes until deep golden brown.
  4. Set aside to cool completely before cutting.
Step 3: Make the Jam
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
  2. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.
  3. Remove from heat and cool.
    Note: If using fresh fruit, cook for an additional 5 minutes to reduce excess moisture.
Step 4: Make the Cream Filling
  1. In a large bowl, beat cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sour cream until fluffy.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, ⅓ at a time, until fully combined.
    Note: The filling can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.
Step 5: Assemble the Croissants
  1. Slice each croissant in half, but not all the way through.
  2. Spread a generous layer of berry jam on both halves.
  3. Fill with cream filling and close the croissants.
  4. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Best enjoyed fresh on the same day for the crispiest texture.
  • Store leftover cream filling in an airtight container for up to 1 day in the fridge.
  • Keep an eye on baking time—frozen puff pastry may need longer, while refrigerated may bake faster.
