Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares to make 8 squares total.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the triangles with the egg wash for a golden-brown finish.
Place the pillows on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let the pastries cool for about 10 minutes.
Dust the pastries lightly with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm with a cup of chamomile tea or warm milk.
