Nothing brightens a morning like a warm, flaky Raspberry Pastry Recipe fresh from your own oven. If you want to know how to make Raspberry Pastry, you have found the perfect guide today.
Ingredients
- 1 package 17.3 oz frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 4 tablespoons raspberry preserves or jam
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg for egg wash
- 1 tablespoon water
- Powdered sugar for dusting optional
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Pan
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Mix the Cream Cheese Filling
- In a medium bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
Prepare the Puff Pastry
- Unroll the thawed puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into four equal squares using a knife.
Add the Cream Cheese
- Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each pastry square. Spread it out slightly.
Add Jam and Berries
- Top the cream cheese with a small dollop of raspberry preserves. Place 3 or 4 fresh raspberries on top.
Fold the Pastry Edges
- Fold two opposite corners of the square toward the center. Press them together firmly so they stay closed during baking.
Apply the Egg Wash
- Whisk the egg and water in a small cup. Lightly brush the pastry dough with the mixture for a golden finish.
Bake Until Golden
- Place the pan in the oven for 18 to 20 minutes. The pastries should be puffed and deep golden brown.
Cool and Dust
- Move the pastries to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar if you like extra sweetness.
Notes
- Store leftover pastries in an airtight container at room temperature for two days.
- Keep them in the refrigerator for up to five days to stay fresh longer.
- To get the crunch back, reheat them in a toaster oven for three minutes.
- Avoid using the microwave as it can make the puff pastry feel very soggy.
- You can freeze unbaked pastries for up to one month and bake them from frozen.
