There is a restaurant that we go to that makes these delicious little bundles of dough that are filled with a sweetened cream cheese. It’s a very simple dessert and I couldn’t wait to try making them at home. I started with puff pastry, filled it with cream cheese and into the oven they went until golden brown. They are divine and they taste pretty close to the ones at the restaurant. I’m excited that I can now make them at home…and the kids are too!
1 box (2 sheets) of puff pastry, thawed
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 C powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. cream (heavy cream, half-n-half or milk)
1 tsp. vanilla
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees; spray 2 cookie sheets with non-stick cooking spray.
Cream together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, cream and vanilla; set aside.
Unfold one sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface.
Cut dough into 9 equal squares.
Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of the squares.
Bring up two sides of the dough and crimp together.
Repeat with the other two sides.
Make sure all the sides are crimped together.
Continue with the remaining squares and place onto a cookie sheet. Repeat the process with the second sheet of puff pastry and cream cheese mixture; place onto another cookie sheet.
Bake one tray for 15-18 minutes; until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven, place bundles on a wire rack and allow to cool. Repeat with the second tray.
Take a bite and enjoy!
Yum! Can't wait to make these! What a shame my husband doesn't like cream cheese…I'll have to eat them all by myself!
Yum! I'm thinking a spoonful of canned pie filling such as cherry or triple-berry dolloped over the tops would be delish too!
I think it would too!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR ANOTHER AMAZING AND EASY RECIPE. THIS IS A GREAT ADDITION TO MY DESERTS.
couldn't you add a little strawberry jam to them as well? mmmmm I do love anything with cream cheese!!
You're quite welcome Soheila 🙂
Chris, I think the addition of strawberry jam would be delicious! I'll have to try that next time.
These look delicious! I love using puff pastry, and I love cheese danishes, and these just sound so good! Thanks for sharing, I'll need to make some soon too! Perfect weekend breakfast! 🙂
I have Puff Pastry, I have cream cheese—looks like I have dessert tonight! Yummy!
