Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets dairy-free puff pastry sheets
- 226 grams dairy-free cream cheese
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 125 grams fresh raspberries
- 30 grams powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the dairy-free cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until creamy and smooth.
Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.
Evenly distribute the fresh raspberries on top of the cream cheese mixture on each square.
Fold each corner of the puff pastry square over the filling towards the center to create a 'pinwheel' or leave them open.
Transfer the assembled pastries onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Brush the edges of the pastry lightly with almond milk to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Dust with powdered sugar just before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
