Serves: 10
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry
- 8 oz cream cheese
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 cups fresh berries
- 1 egg
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
- 3 – 4 tablespoons milk
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the cream cheese until soft and fluffy.
- Add white sugar, lemon juice and zest and whip until well blended and smooth.
- On a lightly floured surface, unfold a sheet of puff pastry and cut into circles using a round cookie cutter. A glass or jar would also work.
- Use a smaller cookie cutter or glass to create an indent around the edge, then prick the center several times with a fork.
- Spread a dollop of cream cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry round.
- Top with berries to your heart’s content.
- Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry. (I was able to get 5 pastries per sheet of puff pastry based on the size of my cookie cutter.)
- Beat the egg with a bit of water, then brush the edges of each pastry with egg wash.
- Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 18 – 20 minutes or until golden.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and then transfer pastries to a wire cooling rack.
- While they cool a bit, sift powdered sugar into a mixing bowl. Add milk slowly, whisking until smooth.
- Drizzle over each pastry then serve!
