Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut the pastry into squares and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

In a saucepan, combine lemon juice, sugar, and water over medium heat.

Cook until thickened, stirring constantly, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove from heat and whisk in cream cheese, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

Spoon lemon filling into the center of each pastry square, leaving edges clear.

Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket and pinch to seal.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
