Equipment

  • Muffin tin (mini or standard size)
  • Rolling Pin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or hand whisk
  • Pastry brush
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • For the Crust:
  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • For the Filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Topping:
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons raspberry jam optional
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Puff Pastry
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and sprinkle it evenly with granulated sugar.
  • Cut the pastry into small squares large enough to fit into the cups of a mini or standard muffin tin.
  • Press the pastry squares into the greased muffin cups, creating a small shell.
  • Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Filling
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling into each pastry shell, depending on your muffin tin size.
  • Step 3: Add the Raspberries
  • Gently place 1–2 raspberries on top of the cream cheese filling in each pastry shell.
  • If desired, warm the raspberry jam slightly and drizzle a small amount over the raspberries for added sweetness.
  • Step 4: Bake
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is slightly set.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • Step 5: Serve
  • Once cooled, dust the Raspberry Cream Cheese Bites with powdered sugar for a pretty finish.
