Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Measure out 450 grams (1 pound) of store-bought puff pastry dough. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth and even.

Step 2

Combine the Filling

In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of cream cheese with 2 tablespoons (30 grams) of powdered sugar until smooth. This creates a sweet and tangy base for your pastries.

Step 3

Assemble the Pastries

Cut the dough into equal-sized squares. Place a small amount of creamy filling in the center of each square. Top with fresh raspberries. Gently fold the corners of the dough to the center to form a neat pocket.

Step 4

Bake the Pastries

Place the assembled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and flaky. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Your delicious raspberry puff pastries are ready to be enjoyed. Serve them warm or at room temperature for the best experience. Enjoy with a lovely cup of tea or coffee.

Servings

These heavenly raspberry puffs are perfect companions for any meal or occasion. Imagine serving them warm, straight out of the oven, alongside a steaming cup of coffee or a refreshing iced tea. Bliss! ☕🍵

For a touch of gourmet elegance, try drizzling a little melted chocolate over the top. The combination of chocolate and raspberry is always a showstopper. 🍫

Alternatively, pair these pastries with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert that screams indulgence. The contrast between the warm pastry and the cold ice cream is sure to tantalize your taste buds. 🍦

Whether it’s at a casual family gathering or a sophisticated soiree, these pastries are versatile crowd-pleasers that never fail to earn rave reviews. 🥳

Faq

  • What if I don’t have cream cheese?

    No worries! You can substitute it with ricotta or mascarpone cheese. Adjust the recipe for sweetness and texture as needed.

  • Can I use frozen raspberries?

    Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw them first and pat them dry to remove excess moisture so your pastry stays crispy.

  • How can I ensure my pastries are evenly baked?

    Use an even layer of parchment and space the pastries apart to allow air circulation. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time for consistent heat distribution.

  • Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

    For best results, assemble them just before baking. You can prepare the components in advance, store them separately, and then quickly assemble and bake when needed.

  • Are there any flavor variations?

    Absolutely! Experiment with different berries like blueberries or strawberries, or add a touch of lemon zest to the filling for a citrus kick.

  • How do I prevent my pastries from becoming soggy?

    Ensure your ingredients, like raspberries, are as dry as possible before assembling. Also, baking them until golden will help keep them nice and crisp.
