Delicious Raspberry Cream Cheese Bites: A Sweet and Flaky Treat

These Raspberry Cream Cheese Bites are a delicious and easy-to-make pastry! They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup raspberry jam or preserves
  • Fresh raspberries (optional)

 

  • Powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into 12 equal squares and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Make Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Fill Pastry Squares: Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry square. Top with a small dollop of raspberry jam.
  • Fold and Seal: Fold the corners of each pastry square toward the center, pressing gently to seal the filling inside.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.

 

  • Cool and Garnish: Let the pastries cool on a wire rack. Garnish with fresh raspberries and dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
