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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 3 equal rectangles to make a total of 6 pieces.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Fold the puff pastry rectangles in half over the filling to create a pocket. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
Step 8
Place the filled puff pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Step 9
Brush the tops of the puff pastries with the remaining egg wash to create a golden finish.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puff pastries are golden and puffed.
Step 11
Allow the pastries to cool slightly on a wire rack before adding toppings.
Step 12
Top each pastry with fresh fruit and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
Step 13
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
