Cream Cheese Pastries Recipe

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

In a mixing bowl, place 160 g of softened cream cheese.

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl.

Whip the mixture for 3 to 4 minutes until creamy.

Take a third piece of puff pastry and cut out round shapes using a cup.

Use a slightly smaller cup to create a slight indentation in the center of each round without cutting through.

Place the circles onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Grab about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture and spread it around the inside of the indentation.

Add strawberries to one pastry and blueberries to another.

Lightly beat 1 egg and brush it around the outside of each pastry to help brown it.

Sprinkle sugar around the border of each pastry.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes until slightly puffy and golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
