Ingredients

For the Pastry Bites:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed (or 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough)
  • 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (60 g) raspberry jam or preserves
  • ½ cup (75 g) fresh raspberries (optional)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

For the Glaze (Optional):

  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

  1. In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3: Assemble the Bites

  1. Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into 2-inch squares (or unroll crescent dough and cut into small rectangles).
  2. Place a small dollop of cream cheese mixture in the center of each square.
  3. Add ½ teaspoon of raspberry jam on top of the cream cheese.
  4. If using fresh raspberries, place one on top.
  5. Fold the edges slightly inward or leave them open for a danish-style look.

Step 4: Brush with Egg Wash and Bake

  1. Brush the edges of the pastries with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  2. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.

Step 5: Make the Glaze (Optional)

  1. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Drizzle over the warm pastries before serving.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

  1. Let cool slightly and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • No puff pastry? Use crescent roll dough or pie dough for a similar result.
  • Want extra crunch? Sprinkle coarse sugar or sliced almonds on top before baking.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze unbaked pastries and bake straight from frozen, adding 2-3 extra minutes to the baking time.
