Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet refrigerated puff pastry thawed
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup raspberry jam
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • Fresh raspberries for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and cut it into 9 equal squares.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each pastry square.
  • Add a small spoon of raspberry jam on top of the cream cheese filling.
  • Fold the corners of each pastry slightly toward the center to create a small pocket, leaving the filling visible.
  • Brush the pastry edges with the beaten egg to help them turn golden while baking.
  • Bake for 18–20 minutes until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
  • Allow the Raspberry Cream Cheese Bites to cool for several minutes before transferring them to a rack.
  • Top each bite with a fresh raspberry before serving.

Notes

  1. You can swap raspberry jam with strawberry, blackberry, or mixed berry preserves for a different flavor profile.
  2. These bites are delicious served slightly warm with a light dusting of powdered sugar.
  3. They also pair beautifully with coffee, tea, or a brunch spread.
