Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry sheets
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 cup fresh fruit (such as berries or sliced peaches)
- 1 tbsp optional powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Allow the frozen puff pastry sheets to thaw slightly (about 10 minutes) until pliable. Roll them out gently on a lightly floured surface if they need to be flattened.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 3 equal rectangles to make a total of 6 pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Place a dollop (about 1-2 tablespoons) of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry rectangle. Spread it slightly, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Combine the egg and water in a small bowl and whisk to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of the puff pastry rectangles with the egg wash to help seal them during baking.
Fold the puff pastry rectangles in half over the filling to create a pocket. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
Place the filled puff pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Brush the tops of the puff pastries with the remaining egg wash to create a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puff pastries are golden and puffed.
Allow the pastries to cool slightly on a wire rack before adding toppings.
Top each pastry with fresh fruit and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
