Time 35m

Yield 12 turnovers

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/3 cup fresh or frozen and thawed blueberries
2 (9-inch) refrigerated pie crusts
1 egg, beaten
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Special equipment: a 3 1/2-inch round cookie cutter
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the cheese, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Stir in the blueberries.
  • Using a 3 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut the pie dough into 12 circles. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg. Place about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture in the center of the dough. Fold the dough in half to enclose the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Using the tines of a fork, gently crimp the sealed edges. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  • While the pastry is chilling: In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.) Fry the turnovers for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with sugar while still hot. Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

The filling was a bit runny. I think I should have cooked it for a little longer.

The turnovers didn't turn out as flaky as I expected. I think I rolled the dough too thin.

These turnovers are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

I used frozen blueberries and they worked great. I also added a little bit of lemon zest to the filling for extra flavor.

I love how easy these turnovers are to make. The puff pastry dough is store-bought, so all you have to do is fill it with the blueberry-mascarpone mixture and bake it.

These blueberry and mascarpone turnovers were a delightful treat! The combination of sweet, juicy blueberries and creamy, tangy mascarpone cheese was simply irresistible.
