Cream Cheese Puff Bites Makes: 30-32 mini puffs
Ingredients:
Cream Cheese - 100gm
Vanilla - 1/2 tsp.
Sugar - 3 tbsp.
Puff Pastry sheet - 1 or 2 no (depending on the size, I used a large (8x16 inch) ready-made sheet.)
Sugar (to powder) - 2 tbsp.
Egg - 1 no
Water - 1 tbsp.
Method:
Take a ready-made puff pastry from the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature for 40-50 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, mix cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar till we get a nice creamy consistency.
To make egg wash, add egg and water to a small bowl, mix well, and keep aside.
Sprinkle some flour onto a clean surface and spread open the thawed puff pastry. Now cut the pastry into 2x2 inch-sized squares. You will get around 30-32 (2x2 inch) sized squares.
Now add a 1/2 tsp. (heaping) of prepared cream cheese filling in the center of each square.
Brush two opposing corners with egg wash, then fold over the filling in the center, pressing and pinching gently to seal. Refrigerate the assembled cream cheese puffs for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180° Celsius and line a baking tray with baking paper or a silicone baking sheet.
Place the prepared cream cheese puff and brush a thin layer of egg wash. Bake at 180° C for 18-20 minutes or until puffed and golden.
Let it cool to room temperature and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
Serve them immediately or store them in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
