Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (Substitute with coconut sugar for a lower glycemic option.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (Enhances flavor.)
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast (Can substitute with instant yeast.)
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (Use almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.)
  • 1 large egg (Replace with a flax egg for a vegan option.)
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (Ghee can be a great lactose-free alternative.)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (Mascarpone or ricotta can create a lighter variation.)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (Erythritol makes a sugar-free substitute.)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Consider using almond extract for a twist.)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (Lime juice can be used for a different flavor.)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (Just a pinch enhances flavors.)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (Use confectioners’ sugar for an even finish.)
  • 2 tablespoons milk or lemon juice (Try orange juice for a twist.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the cream cheese filling by combining softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, salt, and the egg yolk in a mixing bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  3. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 3×4 inch rectangles.
  4. Form the pastries by folding the edges inward or scoring a border. Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the center of each pastry.
  5. Brush the edges of your pastries with an egg wash.
  6. Bake the pastries for 15-18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  7. Cool the pastries on a wire rack for a few minutes before preparing the glaze.
  8. Drizzle the glaze over the pastries before serving.
