Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Adjust sweetness if needed.
  2. Roll Out Puff Pastry: Dust work surface with flour, then roll out the puff pastry into a 10.5-inch square to about ⅛-inch thickness. Cut into nine equal squares.
  3. Assemble Pastries: Place about one tablespoon of cream cheese filling on each pastry square, top with four raspberries. Fold over to create a triangle, sealing the edges with egg wash.
  4. Chill Before Baking: Arrange on a lined baking sheet, freeze for at least 30 minutes, then preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
  5. Bake: After preheating, brush pastries with egg wash and bake for 25-30 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  6. Serve: Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack, then dust with powdered sugar before serving. Best enjoyed warm.
