Ingredients

For the Pastry:

1 ½ sheets of puff pastry, thawed
8 oz 1 package cream cheese, softened
¾ cup greek yoghurt (My favorite is the Faye Brand 2 or 5%)
½ cup sugar
juice of half a lemon + zest of a lemon
2 teaspoon vanilla extract, or 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
2 eggs (Keep about 1 tablespoon from the egg aside for the egg wash)

For the Blueberry Compote:

2 cups blueberries
½ cup sugar
juice of half a lemon
½ cup water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 °F
1. Press a sheet of the thawed puff pastry directly into (with parchment baking paper lined) springform pan. Cut the second pastry sheet in small long strips to form braids. Arrange the braids on the outer edge along the sides of the springform. With a fork prick several times into the pastry dough, but not the border. Place springform pan into the refrigerator until ready to fill.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and the yoghurt until smooth. Add the sugar, egg, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla to the bowl and beat until combined. Set aside.
3. In a medium saucepan, add the blueberries with the sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a quick boil just until the the blueberry sauce becomes syrupy. About 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Take the pastry out of the refrigerator. Fill with the cream cheese filling. Spread evenly out with a spoon. Mix a teaspoon of water into the tablespoon of egg that we preserved earlier, and carefully brush the border braid. Spoon half of the blueberry compote over the cream cheese filling. Bake in the oven about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly. Pour the remaining blueberries with sauce over.
