Ingredients
- 1 Sheet puff pastry thawed
- 4 Ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- ¼ Cup powdered sugar
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 Tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the thawed pastry into 6 equal rectangles, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar. Cream together for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix until fully combined.

- Bake in a preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Chill the pastry: Keep the dough refrigerated until just before use to ensure it remains flaky and doesn't become too soft to handle.
Avoid overfilling: Avoid overfilling the pastries with the cream mixture to prevent leakage during baking.
Seal edges properly: Press the edges firmly after applying the egg wash to ensure the pastries stay sealed and maintain their shape.
Monitor baking time: Ovens can vary; start checking the pastries at the 10-minute mark to avoid over-browning.
Cool on a wire rack: After baking, transfer the pastries to a wire rack to cool slightly, which helps maintain their crispness.
Serve fresh: These pastries are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. If storing, reheat them briefly to regain their flaky texture.
