Cream Cheese Puff Pastry

PIES AND TACOS

This Cream Cheese Puff Pastry is so easy to make and absolutely delicious!

Thaw the puff pastry by letting it sit on the counter for 30 minutes or microwaving it wrapped in a paper towel for 15 seconds on each side.

Beat sugar and softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add yolk, lemon juice, and vanilla, and mix. Optionally fold in citrus zest.

Cut the pastry sheet into 6 rectangles and place on a lined baking tray. Score a smaller rectangle in the center, but don’t cut all the way through.

Fill the center with a couple of tablespoons of filling. Top with berries or leave it plain with the cream cheese filling.

Whisk the egg to make an egg wash. You can add a splash of milk to it if desired. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash, and sprinkle coarse sugar on top.

To serve the pastries, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top, or drizzle a sugar glaze.

You can make it with any fruits, berries, jam or just the cream cheese filling.
