Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 15 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets if they are not pre-rolled. Each sheet should be roughly 25 x 25 cm (10 x 10 inches).
Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over one of the puff pastry sheets, leaving a 1 cm (1/2 inch) border around the edges.
Roll the puff pastry sheet tightly from one edge to the other, creating a log shape. Repeat with the second puff pastry sheet and the remaining cream cheese mixture.
Place the logs seam side down and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up, making them easier to slice.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Remove the pastry logs from the refrigerator and slice them into 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thick rounds. Place the slices cut-side up on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2.5 cm (1 inch) apart.
Brush the tops of the spirals with the egg wash to help them achieve a golden color when baking.
Bake the spirals in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the spirals to cool slightly on a wire rack. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy these delightful Cream Cheese Spirals!
