5. Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the chopped pecans until they are fully coated in the maple mixture. Tip: Work quickly here so the filling doesn’t set before you can spread it.
6. Pour the pecan-maple filling over the hot, par-baked crust, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
7. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly all over and the pecans are fragrant. Tip: The filling will firm up as it cools, so don’t overbake it looking for a hard set.

4. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with the remaining ¼ cup of granulated sugar until smooth.
5. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
6. Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon juice until just combined. Tip: Don’t overmix to avoid bursting the blueberries and turning the filling purple.
7. Roll out the pastry dough on a floured surface into a 12×10-inch rectangle, about ¼-inch thick.
8. Spread the cream cheese and blueberry mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
9. Carefully roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log, sealing the edge with a little water.
10. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Tip: Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts for neat swirls.
11. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
12. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Craving a bite? These swirls boast a buttery, crisp exterior that gives way to a creamy, tangy center with juicy blueberry bursts. Serve them warm with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat, or pack them for a picnic—they’re just as delightful at room temperature, making every occasion a little sweeter!

4. Add 2 large eggs and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, beating for 1 minute until smooth and fluffy.

11. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the cooled ring, letting it drip down the sides for a rustic look.
