Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Low-sodium cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 sheet Ready-made puff pastry sheets
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-sodium cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat until smooth and well combined.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 8 equal rectangles.
Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each rectangle and top with a few fresh raspberries.
Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling, pressing down lightly to secure.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the top edges of each pastry with the egg wash.
Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
While the pastries are baking, mix the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl to make the glaze.
Once the pastries are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm pastries and serve immediately.
