Puff pastry with cream and blueberries the treat that everyone loves. The recipe I want to tell you about today is a simple and delicious dessert. Delicious puff pastries filled with custard and delightful blueberries. Blueberries are a source of vitamins (A, D, and E), folic acid, minerals (such as phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium), and organic acids. Blueberries also have high antioxidant properties, protect blood vessels, have anti-inflammatory properties, and protect vision. So many great reasons to add them often to our diet and, why not, prepare many delicious desserts. The blueberry desserts I am telling you about today are a very simple treat to prepare with few and simple ingredients. The longest preparation is that of the custard, but you can also do it in advance and my custard recipe is really simple and perfect.

- 1 1/4 cups blueberries
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds

HOW TO PREPARE PUFF PASTRY AND BLUEBERRY SWEETS
Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until you get a light and frothy mixture. Add the potato starch and mix. Heat the milk in a saucepan with the untreated lemon peel, bringing it almost to a boil. Combine the whipped eggs with the milk. Let the cream thicken by stirring with a whisk for about a minute. Transfer the Cream to a bowl and let it cool.
Roll out the rectangular puff pastry on your work surface and cut it into more or less regular squares. I got 12 squares, but it depends on the size of the puff pastry you use.
With a knife, cut a frame into each puff pastry square, leaving 2 opposite corners intact. It will be very easy by observing the photos. Lift one flap and overlap it to the opposite side, and do the same with the opposite side of the puff pastry frame. Press around with your hands or with the prongs of a fork.
Arrange the Puff Pastry slightly apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and prick the bottom with the prongs of a fork. Bake them in a preheated static oven at 375°F for 15-16 minutes. Let them cool.
Wash the blueberries and let them drain. Transfer the custard to a piping bag with a large star-shaped nozzle. Fill the puff pastries with the custard.
Place the blueberries on the cream, add the sliced almonds and finish with a generous sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Loredana’s Tips
You can prepare the puff pastry bases in advance and store them, without filling, in a container for 1 day
If you prefer, you can replace the blueberries with other berries like raspberries, small strawberries, or even mixed berries
