Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour (for dusting)
• 1 tbsp Milk (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly flour a clean work surface, then roll out each puff pastry sheet to slightly thin and even them out.

Step 3

Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal squares, yielding a total of 8 squares.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the sweet cheese filling into the center of each puff pastry square.

Step 6

Fold the pastry squares diagonally to create a triangle, ensuring the edges are lined up. Gently press the edges together to seal them, and crimp with a fork for extra security.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash.

Step 8

Brush the top of each pastry puff with the egg wash to achieve a golden finish when baked.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, make two small slits on the top of each puff to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 10

Place the prepared pastry puffs on the lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry puffs are golden brown and flaky.

Step 12

Remove the pastry puffs from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes.

Step 13

If desired, dust the cooled pastry puffs with powdered sugar for a decorative and sweet touch.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
