Blueberry Creme Croissants

When I was making my cream cheese croissants last night I had some dough left over and some fresh blueberries in the refrigerator. I decided to turn a few squares of the pastry into a dessert. If you don’t have croissant dough you can substitute puff pastry, I would just sprinkle a little more sugar on top. When you take the puff pastry out of the box, roll it out just a little on a floured surface. You can do everything ahead of time, they assemble quickly. You want to assemble this dessert just before you serve it.

Croissant dough just before it went in the oven.
