FAQs

How do I keep the puff pastry from getting soggy?

Make sure the filling isn’t overly wet, and don’t overfill. Also, bake on parchment to help absorb moisture.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Can these be made ahead of time?

What can I use instead of cream cheese?

Mascarpone or ricotta cheese can be a good substitute with slightly different flavor profiles.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes, use dairy-free puff pastry and a plant-based cream cheese alternative.

Do I have to use an egg wash?
