Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Pastry sheets
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
On a clean surface, lay out the pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into equal rectangles measuring about 4x6 inches.
Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry rectangle. Spread it slightly, leaving a border around the edges.
Gently fold the long edges of the pastry over the cream cheese mixture, then fold the short edges to fully enclose the filling, forming a small rectangle or 'finger.' Pinch the seams to seal tightly and place the filled pastries seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
Brush each pastry finger with the egg wash to ensure a golden, shiny finish.
In a separate small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with cinnamon (if using), then sprinkle this mixture lightly over the pastries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
Remove from the oven and let the cream cheese fingers cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
