Why I Love This Recipe

I wanted to make some fun-shaped puff pasty treats for my family and came up with these Blueberry Puff Pastry Stars. These stars are great because they can be an everyday treat or decorated with red icing for the perfect patriotic treat for Memorial Day or the Fourth of July!

You can use homemade or store-bought puff pastry to make these flaky treats. Combine that with a sweet cream cheese filling and fresh blueberries and you will have a crowd-pleasing pastry similar to my Blueberry Buckle Muffins.

What Puff Pastry to Use?

Puff pastry is actually pretty easy to make with only 4 ingredients. Check out my recipe for Quick and Easy Puff Pastry and you can have puff pastry on hand at all times.

Just remember it has to sit in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour before use. If you don't want to make your own puff pastry, you can always use store-bought.

If your puff pastry is frozen, you will want to thaw it in the fridge for 3-4 hours before using it. You can also take it out of the freezer the night before and allow it to thaw in the fridge overnight.

How to Make Blueberry Puff Pastry Stars

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the cream cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar in a bowl. Mix well with a spatula or spoon and set aside.

Use the star cookie cutter to cut out stars in the puff pastry dough. Score the top of each star with a sharp knife making an "x" on top.

Place the cream cheese mixture into the middle of each star and spread it out just before the edges. Place some blueberries in the middle of the stars and use the pastry brush to brush the egg wash along the edges.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry becomes golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.

Make Red Icing to Make These Red, White, and Blue!

These star-shaped treats are perfect for holidays like Memorial Day or the Fourth of July. Just make a quick red icing and you will have patriotic pastries!

Place the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a bowl and whisk together. Add the red food coloring and fully incorporate. When the pastries have cooled, drizzle the icing on top of each star and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

What To Do With The Extra Puff Pastry Dough

Since you are making star cutouts, you will have some leftover puff pastry dough. I try to limit kitchen waste as much as possible, especially when delicious puff pastry is involved!

You can create smaller odd-shaped pieces of puff pastry and bake them to create delicious bites of baked puffed pastry! Dip them in your coffee or spread some fresh jam on top. No waste and extra goodies!

Expert Tips for This Recipe

  • Puff pastry needs to be as cold as possible when going into the oven to create flaky and delicious treats. If you feel like your puff pastry has been out too long, just place it back in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
  • Parchment paper or a silicone mat is very helpful when baking these pastries so they don't stick to the pan.
  • Don't put too many blueberries on top of your stars or they will just be a soggy mess.
  • The egg wash is an important step because this helps the puff pastry become nice and brown.
  • These Blueberry Pastries will last in the fridge for 1-2 days in a covered container.

Tools for Making These Puff Pastry Stars

I used a 4" star cookie cutter which seemed to be a perfect size for these pastries.

As I mentioned, you also want to use parchment paper to keep these treats from sticking. I love these parchment sheets that are pre-cut.

And for your powdered sugar sprinkling, this little shaker makes the perfect presentation and comes with a lid for storage.

Equipment

  • medium mixing bowl
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • 2 small mixing bowls
  • pastry brush
  • star-shaped cookie cutter

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 8 tablespoon cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoon confectioners powdered sugar (plus extra for sprinkling)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Red Icing (optional)

  • ¼ cup confectioners powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • red food coloring

Instructions

  • Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine the cream cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar, mix well with a spatula or spoon, and set aside.
  • Spread out the puff pastry onto a floured surface. If it's not already in a rectangle, roll it out to about ¼" thick. Use the star cookie cutter to cut out as many stars as you can. Place the stars on the baking sheet before assembly, otherwise, they are hard to move. Score the top of each star with a sharp knife making an "x" on top. Be careful not to go all the way through the pastry.
  • Place about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the middle of each star and use the back of a spoon to spread it out just before the edges. Place some blueberries in the middle of the stars (about 12 on each star). Use the pastry brush to brush the egg wash along the edges of the stars.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry becomes golden-brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
  • If you are going to add icing on top, place the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a bowl and whisk together. Add the food coloring and fully incorporate. When the pastries have cooled, drizzle the icing on top of each star and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • These pastries are best when enjoyed immediately, but will last in the fridge for 1-2 days in a covered container.
  • Puff pastry needs to be as cold as possible when going into the oven to create flaky and delicious treats. If you feel like your puff pastry has been out too long, just place it back in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
  • Parchment paper or a silicone mat is very helpful when baking these pastries so they don't stick to the pan

  • The egg wash is an important step because this helps the puff pastry become nice and brown.

    Thank you, but I found out online that I do need to refrigerate baked puffed pastry. I think that your recipe is original and looks absolutely scrumptious! I will definitely make these extraordinary pastries in the future for my family to enjoy at home for a breakfast treat! Happy Holidays!

    I wanted to make these for Christmas to send to family. If I use jam instead of berries, do they have to be refrigerated? If not, how long will they last if I mail them and they are kept in a ziplock bag?

      Hi Mary Ann, these stars need to be refrigerated since they have dairy from the cream cheese. I wouldn't recommend mailing them, unfortunately. You could make my Super Soft Sugar cookies and cut them in a star shape 😊

        Thank you very much for your reply. I was just going to use jam, and no cream cheese. Will they still need to be refrigerated?

        Baked puff pastry usually lasts 2 days at room temperature in a sealed container. So if you can get it there fast enough, it should be ok! Good luck.

    Would frozen blueberries work just as well?

      Hi Katie,
      I haven't tried this with frozen blueberries, however I think it could work as long as the blueberries are whole. You can run cold water over them to get off the excess ice and give it a go. Enjoy!
