Ingredients
- Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry, 1 sheet, thawed according to package instructions
- 8 fl oz cream cheese, 1 brick, softened
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg white, beaten
- coarse sugar, for sprinkling (optional)
- 1 tbsp light corn syrup, or honey (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out sheet of Puff Pastry. Cut into 9 equal pieces.
- In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Add a spoonful to middle of each Puff Pastry square. Fold 1 corner towards middle, then fold over the opposite corner so the pastry looks like it's hugging itself. If the corners do not stick together, brush with a little egg white.
-
Repeat with remaining pastries. Transfer to baking sheet and brush with egg white. If desired, sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
- Remove from oven and brush with corn syrup if you would like a shiny crust. Cool and eat.
