Description

These Berry and Cream Cheese Stuffed Puff Pastries are golden, flaky delights filled with a luscious cream cheese mixture and juicy berries. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, they come together easily with minimal prep. A dusting of powdered sugar adds the finishing touch to this elegant yet effortless treat!


Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup mixed berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven – Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Puff Pastry – Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into six equal squares.
  3. Make the Filling – In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Assemble the Pastries – Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry square. Top with a few mixed berries.
  5. Fold and Seal – Fold the corners of each pastry square toward the center, pinching gently to seal.
  6. Bake – Arrange the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  7. Finish and Serve – Let the pastries cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Berry Substitutes: Swap mixed berries for strawberries, cherries, or diced peaches.
  • Citrus Twist: Add a bit of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture for a refreshing flavor.
  • Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle slivered almonds or chopped pecans on top before baking.
  • Extra Indulgence: Drizzle melted chocolate over the baked pastries for a decadent touch.
