Blueberry Puff Pastry Bake
Blueberry Puff Pastry Bake is a sweet and delicious dessert, made with a simple homemade blueberry filling topped with puff pastry sheets. Then, it is baked until bubbly and the puff pastry has puffed up to a golden brown. It’s an elegant treat that combines the buttery, flaky pastry with the sweetness of the blueberry filling! I also have a from-scratch Blueberry Cobbler you will want to try!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Blueberries: Fresh blueberries are best in this recipe. However, you could also use frozen. The blueberries are cooked on a stovetop so if you are cooking them right from frozen, the time it takes to come to a boil may be increased. When we tested this with blueberry pie filling it lacked flavor and was not nearly as good as making the blueberry sauce.
Cornstarch: Cornstarch is added to thicken the blueberry sauce. When the cornstarch is combined with water and heated, it forms a gel-like mixture that thickens as it cooks.
Puff Pastry: You will need one sheet of store-bought puff pastries, thawed according to package instructions, and cut into small squares. I also have an excellent recipe for a homemade Puff Pastry. Just leave out the cinnamon when making it for this recipe.
Egg: The beaten egg is brushed over the top of the puff pastry pieces for a lovely golden brown color when baked.
Can I Make This Ahead of Time?
Yes! Once you have the blueberry sauce and puff pastry pieces assembled, you can store the dessert in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, uncover and simply transfer the dessert to the oven. You may have to add a couple more minutes to the baking time. Another make-ahead option is to make the blueberry filling and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. Then, it’s ready to go when you are ready to bake the dessert.

Whipped ToppingVanilla Ice CreamCinnamon and Sugar MixtureChopped Nuts (like pecans, walnuts, or almonds)Lemon Zest
Can I Make This in a Different Pan?
Yes, although I love cooking desserts in a skillet for the most even cooking and rustic presentation, you could use another dish. In this case, I would recommend a 9-inch square baking dish or a 9 or 10-inch round cake pan. Keep in mind that baking times may vary, depending on the pan you use.
How to Store Blueberry Puff Pastry Bake
Once baked, the puff pastry blueberry bake can be stored at room temperature, and covered, for up to a day. For longer storage, keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You could also freeze the dessert for 1-2 months.
