Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed (about 8 oz)

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • Optional: zest of lemon or orange

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and prepare a mini muffin tin with liners or by greasing.

  3. On a floured surface, unfold puff pastry and cut into about 24 squares (2.5 inches each).
  4. Press each square into a muffin cup, forming a shell.
  5. Spoon or pipe a dollop of cream cheese mixture into each cup.

Notes

  • Substitute with seasonal berries like blueberries or strawberries.
  • Swirl in lemon curd or jam for added flavor.
  • Try almond extract for a nutty twist.
  • Use tartlet pans instead of muffin tins for a refined shape.
  • Add chocolate or caramel drizzle for indulgence.
