🥗Healthier: phyllo dough

💰Cheaper: homemade dough

Phyllo dough is lower in calories and can be made at home.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Take one sheet of puff pastry that is already made with real butter.

Use lower fat cream cheese or any Philadelphia cream cheese, or mascarpone cheese as an alternative.

Add spicy raspberry preserve to the cream cheese mixture.

Portion out 8 teaspoons of sugar to sprinkle on top of the quesitos.

Divide the puff pastry into 8 individual portions.

Fill each portion with the cream cheese and raspberry preserve mixture.

Seal the pastry by rolling it up or shaping it as desired, ensuring it is closed to keep the filling inside.

Place the shaped quesitos on a baking tray.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Check the quesitos as they bake; they should be golden and puffed up.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
