Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Whisk in one egg yolk until fully incorporated. Stir for 5-7 minutes until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into squares or circles and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Prick centers with a fork to prevent excessive puffing. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffy. Let cool on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, gently press down the centers with fingers or a small spoon to create a well for the lemon pastry cream.
- Fill a piping bag with the chilled lemon pastry cream and fill each cooled pastry shell. Top with fresh blueberries.
- Brush tops lightly with milk or heavy cream. Sprinkle granulated sugar on top for crunch.
- Return pastries to the oven and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes until sugar is caramelized. Remove and let cool slightly before serving.
