INGREDIENTS

– puff pastry – cream cheese – granulated sugar – vanilla extract – cherries

1.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth and creamy.

Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to even out the edges. Cut into 8 equal squares. Set aside the remaining puff pastry to create decorative leaves if you’re feeling fancy.

2.

3.

Spoon a portion of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each square.

4.

Top each with a few cherries.

5.

Fold the corners of the pastry towards the center, slightly overlapping, to form a pinwheel or diamond shape. Gently press to seal.
