These little bundles of joy are golden on the outside, warm and creamy on the inside, and bursting with juicy blueberries. The best part? They’re incredibly easy to make, but they look and taste like something from a fancy bakery.

Ingredients You’ll Need
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count) – these will be your fluffy, golden pockets.
1 cup blueberry pie filling – rich, sweet, and full of berry goodness.
4 oz cream cheese, softened – this adds a creamy, tangy surprise in every bite.

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat for Perfection
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that once your pie bombs go in, they’ll bake evenly and turn that irresistible shade of golden brown. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so they won’t stick and will come off easily once baked.
2. Prepare the Dough
Open the biscuit dough can (brace yourself for the pop!). Separate the biscuits and place them on a clean surface. Using your hands or a rolling pin, gently flatten each one into a small circle – big enough to hold a spoonful of filling but not too thin to tear.
3. The Creamy Layer
Take a spoonful of softened cream cheese (about 1 tablespoon) and place it right in the center of your flattened dough circle. This will be the creamy base that pairs perfectly with the blueberries.
4. Add the Berry Magic
Now comes the star of the show – the blueberry pie filling. Place about 1–2 teaspoons of the filling on top of the cream cheese. Don’t overload it, or it might leak out while baking (although… a little berry spill can be delicious too).
5. Seal the Surprise
Gently bring the edges of the dough together over the filling. Pinch them tightly to seal so none of that creamy, fruity goodness escapes. Shape it into a smooth ball and place it seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake to Golden Glory
Slide the tray into the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly glossy. The smell will be pure torture – warm bread and sweet blueberries wafting through the kitchen.
7. The Finishing Touch
Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes (the filling will be molten hot). Then, dust generously with powdered sugar for that bakery-style finish. If you want to go the extra mile, drizzle them with a simple icing glaze or even a little melted white chocolate.
