"Blooming Orchard: Uncover the Sweet Secrets of Blueberry Cheesecake Buns"

These dreamy blueberry cheesecake brioche buns are so decadent and delicious, you’ll fall in love 😍 at first bite I promise you!

These delicious buns are inspired by the Finnish Quark buns called #Rahkapulla. However I have no idea where to get quark so I used cream cheese instead. I whipped up the cream cheese with sugar and 🍋 zest and the winning sweet and tart combo in a fluffy bun is just perfect!

2. Add the butter in small cubes gradually and knead until window-pane stage.

Cover and proof until double.
