Expert Tips

Use Day-Old Croissants: When they’re slightly stale and not as fresh, they hold up slightly better and have the best texture.
Don’t Overfill: Resist the urge to overly stuff with filling. This will help to prevent leaking and keep the croissants in tact.
Soften Cream Cheese: Bring the cream cheese to room temperature ahead of time for easy spreading. This step is worth it!
Add Lemon Zest: For brightness that compliments the sweet, fruity filling and rich cream cheese.
Warm Slightly: These are best served warm, so if needed, pop them in the toaster oven or back into the oven wrapped in foil right before enjoying.

Variations

Try Another Fruit Filling: Swap blueberry for strawberry or cherry for a different, just as delicious fruity filling.
Add Chocolate Chips: To make these even more decadent, add semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips into the filling.
Use Mascarpone: Swap out cream cheese for ultra rich and tangy mascarpone for a different, smooth and sweet flavor profile.
Make Them Savory: We love the sweet fruit filling, but try a savory version with a mixture of fresh or dried herbs and freshly grated cheeses.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Reheat wrapped in foil in the oven until warm. This will give them the best texture.

We don’t recommend freezing these croissants once assembled, as the texture can change once frozen and thawed. They’re best enjoyed fresh!

These are great to prep in advance – assemble the croissants and filling ahead of time then bake whenever you’re ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use crescent dough instead?

Definitely. Simply unroll the dough, separate into triangles, fill and bake per the instructions. They’ll be flaky and delicious.

Can I make these ahead of time?

You can certainly prep these in advance, but we recommend baking them closer to when you’re ready to serve them for maximum freshness and best texture,

How do I keep them from getting soggy?

Avoid overstuffing the croissants with too much filling, and we recommend eating them fresh after baking.

Can I use fresh blueberries?

Absolutely. Fresh blueberries have a fresh, delicious flavor. We just recommend mixing them with cornstarch or flour, or mixing them with the cream cheese before filling the croissants, as they can release more liquid than the pie filling,

What’s the best cream cheese to use?

Full-fat, thick and tangy cream cheese in the traditional brick form will have the best texture and flavor.
