Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 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
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Gently fold in the raspberries and melted white chocolate, taking care not to crush the raspberries.
- Assemble the Bites: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 3×3 inch squares. Spoon the raspberry cream cheese mixture into the center of each square. Fold the corners over the filling and pinch to seal. Place each bite onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the pastry puffs up and turns golden brown.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the bites bake, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Finish & Garnish: Once baked, let the bites cool slightly before drizzling them with the vanilla glaze. Garnish with fresh raspberries for an added touch.
