cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Microwave the cream cheese for 30 seconds to soften it.

Mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

Cut the puff pastry into squares and gently stretch each one slightly.

Fill a pastry bag with the cream cheese mixture and pipe filling into the center of each square.

Fold the pastry by bringing one corner over the filling to the opposite corner, hiding the cream cheese inside.

Brush with egg wash and sprinkle sugar on top.

Bake at 350°F for 23 minutes, until golden brown.

If the pastry tip rises while baking, gently press it down after baking to keep the quesito closed and pretty.

Optional: Brush with light corn syrup for a glossy finish.
