Creamy Puff Pastry Squares
Ingredients:
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the puff pastry and cut into 6 equal squares. Place on the baking sheet and brush with egg wash. Mix cinnamon and granulated sugar, then sprinkle over the pastry. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden and puffed. Let cool completely. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Slice each puff pastry square in half and spread the cream filling onto the bottom halves. Place the top halves back on and dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
