These sweet blueberry mascarpone turnovers are perfectly sweet and delicious served warm or room temperature. Say hello to your new favorite dessert.
One day I spied blueberries and mascarpone sitting in my fridge. I then immediately opened my freezer to check and see if I had puff pastry. Which of course I did. I then knew I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to turn all these ingredients into a fluffy packets of goodness!
I tried to keep the flavors light by only adding sugar and lemon zest. Guess what? They were pretty good. However, I should mention that because the blueberries were super juicy it leaked a bit. Totally worth it in my opinion. Who wouldn’t take some leaky blueberries if they got rewarded with this steamy little puff pastry turnovers.
