Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine fresh blueberries, sugar, brown sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Blend in egg yolk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Roll out one puff pastry sheet on a floured surface, place it on the lined baking sheet, and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over it. Spoon the cooled blueberry filling on top.
- Roll out a second pastry sheet over the filling and slice into diagonal strips. Roll each strip into a crescent shape.
- In a bowl, whisk together an egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush this over the tops of the pastries.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Watch closely to avoid over-browning.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened for the smoothest filling. Store pastries properly to maintain freshness.
