Description
Raspberry Cream Cheese Bites are the epitome of what happens when creamy meets fruity in a dance of flavors. Each bite-sized pastry is a delightful fusion of soft, rich cream cheese and the tangy zest of fresh raspberries, all encased in a golden puff pastry that flakes beautifully with each bite. Drizzled with a sweet vanilla glaze and adorned with fresh berries, these bites are as much a treat for the eyes as they are for the palate.
Ingredients
For the Bites:
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh raspberries, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup white chocolate chips, melted
2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
For the Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the raspberries and melted white chocolate.
Assemble the Bites: Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into squares (about 3×3 inches). Place a spoonful of the raspberry cream cheese mixture in the center of each square. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling and pinch to seal. Place the bites on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Prepare the Glaze: While the bites are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Finish the Bites: Once the bites are baked, let them cool slightly. Drizzle with the vanilla glaze and garnish with fresh raspberries.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the raspberry cream cheese bites warm or at room temperature as a delightful dessert or a sweet snack.
