  • Roll out the puff pastry to roll out any seams in the dough. Cut into 6 even pieces.
    1 Package Puff Pastry
  • Using the backside of a knife, create a rectangle line about 1/2 inch from the edge of the puff pastry, without cutting all the way through! This helps the puff pastry puff up around the cream cheese!
  • Scoop a dollop of the cream cheese mixture into the middle of the pastry pieces. Then spread it out leaving a quarter inch border around the edges.
  • Add a few raspberries.
    1 cup Raspberries
  • Create an egg wash by mixing together one egg with a splash of water. Brush onto the edges of the puff pastry. Sprinkle with a little extra sugar.
  • Bake for about 15-18 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
