Method
 

Pastry Preparation
  1. Prepare Lemon Pastry Cream: In a medium saucepan, combine fresh lemon juice, zest, egg yolks, sugar, and milk or heavy cream over medium heat. Whisk constantly for about 5-7 minutes until thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, cover, and refrigerate.
  2. Bake Puff Pastry Shells: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out thawed puff pastry to about 1/8-inch thickness, cut into shapes, arrange on a baking sheet, brush with heavy cream, and sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden.
  3. Hollow Out Pastries: Let the pastry shells cool for about 5 minutes, then gently press down in the center or cut out a small portion.
  4. Cool Completely: Transfer the pastries to a wire rack and cool completely, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Fill Pastry Shells: Fill each cooled pastry shell with the chilled lemon pastry cream.
  6. Top with Blueberries: Arrange fresh blueberries atop the filled pastries and dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
