Ingredients

  • 1 roll frozen puff pastry
  • 1 package cream cheese (softened (8oz))
  • 6 tbsp icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • fresh berries
  • chocolate chips* (optional)
  • cream (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and unroll one roll of puff pastry onto it. Try to smooth it out.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut it into 9 squares (or whatever number you want) and then score a border on each square (don't cut all the way through - see photos above). Bake in preheated oven for about 15 minutes - until pastry is light golden brown.
  • While the pastry is baking, use a hand mixer to cream softened cream cheese. Add icing sugar and vanilla.
  • Your squares should be puffy. Let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
    Use a teaspoon to press down the centre section (inside the border you made with the knife).
    Once they are completely cool divide the cream cheese mixture between them and top with berries or your choice.

Notes

*Also, as I was making these I thought "chocolate?!?!?!" so I microwaved a few tablespoons of dark chocolate chips with a bit of cream and spread it on the cream cheese under the berries. SO GOOD.
