- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions
Blackberry Mixture
- 12 ounces fresh blackberries, divided
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Cream Cheese Mixture
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon water
Glaze
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons whole milk, room temperature
Blackberry Mixture
In a medium saucepan over low heat add 8 ounces of blackberries, sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Heat until the juices of the blackberries start to release (2-3 minutes). Use a fork to break up the berries.
In a small bowl combine the remaining lemon juice and cornstarch and mix together. Pour into the blackberry mixture and continue to cook until the mixture has thickened (2 more minutes).
Remove from heat. Mix in the vanilla and remaining blackberries.
Set aside to cool.
Assembly and Baking
Roll out each pastry sheet into a 12-inch square. Cut each square into 4 squares for a total of 8 puff pastry squares.
To the middle of each square, add 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture. Spread it out into an even layer, leaving some room around the edges for the egg wash.
Top the cream cheese layer with about 2 tablespoons of blackberry mixture.
In a small dish, whisk together the egg and water. Brush a little bit of the egg wash over the edges of the squares, saving some for the tops of the pastries.
Fold each pastry over from one corner to another, forming a triangle shape. Use a fork to press and seal the edges.
Brush the tops of each pastry with the egg wash.
Place the pastries onto the prepared baking sheets. Using a sharp knife, cut three slits on the top, making sure to cut all of the way through the pastry dough.
Bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow the pastries to cool before adding the glaze.
Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and one tablespoon of milk. Add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until a pourable consistency is reached.
Drizzle the glaze over the top of each turnover.
