Ingredients
  

For the Pastry
  • Puff Pastry Use fully thawed sheets for the best flaky texture.
For the Cream Cheese Filling
  • 6 oz Cream Cheese Opt for full-fat and ensure it's softened to avoid lumps.
  • ¼ cup Powdered Sugar Sweetens the filling; you can use less for a milder flavor.
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds warmth and enhances the overall flavor profile.
For the Raspberry Layer
  • Raspberry Preserves Substitute with strawberry or mixed berry preserves if needed.
For the Finish
  • 1 tablespoon Melted Butter Optional; enhances browning and gives shine to the tops.
  • Powdered Sugar For dusting, provides visual appeal and a gentle sweetness.

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Raspberry Cream Cheese Cruffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of thawed puff pastry to about ¼ inch thick.
  3. Blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Spread half of the cream cheese filling on the pastry, leaving a small border. Add a thin layer of raspberry preserves.
  5. Tightly roll up the pastry sheet and cut it in half. Slice each half into 3 pieces to create spirals.
  6. Twist each pastry slice and place it in the muffin tin. Optionally brush with melted butter.
  7. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.
  8. Let the cruffins cool slightly in the tin, then dust with powdered sugar and serve.
