🥗Healthier: fresh cherries

💰Cheaper: canned cherries

Fresh cherries provide a healthier option, while canned cherries are often more affordable.

Prepare the cherry pie filling by combining cherries, sugar, water (or red wine), rum (or kirsch), vanilla extract, and lime juice in a pot and cooking until thickened.

In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, vanilla extract, orange zest, and a pinch of salt until smooth to create the sweet cream cheese layer.

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into rectangles or squares.

Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each pastry piece.

Add a spoonful of cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese mixture.

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

Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden finish.

Bake in the oven until puffed and golden brown.

Mix sugar with milk to create a glaze and drizzle it over the warm pastries before serving.
