powdered sugar

PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Cut the puff pastry into 9 equal squares.
Taking one of the squares, fold one of the edges to the opposite edge.
Leaving a ½ centimeter border, cut about ¾ of the way from the bottom of the triangle to the tip on both sides, making sure the cuts do not touch.
Unfold the square.
Taking the top flap, fold it towards the 2 cuts near the bottom.
Take the bottom flap and fold it towards the top edge.
Place about a tablespoon of the cream cheese filling in the middle, then place a strawberry half on top.

1 sheet thawed puff pastry
20 raspberries
4 tablespoons Cream Cheese Filling, recipe above

PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Cut the puff pastry into 4 equal squares.
Leaving a ½ centimeter border, make 8 total cuts along the edges of the square, with each cut going about ⅓ of the way through the length of the edge. Make sure the cuts do not touch.
Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese filling in the middle of the square, then top with 4 raspberries.
Take one of the edge flaps and fold it towards the center, looping over the raspberry. Repeat with the other flaps. Place a raspberry in the center, on top of where all the flaps overlap.
Repeat with the remaining pastry squares.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar!

Make 4 cuts on each square, with each cut starting from the outside corners of the square and stopping just short of the center.
Take one of the flaps and fold it towards the center. Fold every other flap towards the center until you have created a pinwheel shape.
Place about a tablespoon of the cream cheese filling in the middle, then place 4 blueberries on top.

I dont cook. My husband does. But these videos from TASTY have made me start. The vids are the BEST !!! Short, sweet, to the point, no jibber jabbering, no watching EVERY SINGLE STEP (I don't need to see all 12 cups filled). They're the BEST !!!! .... and I RARELY even LOOK at the recipe. The vid usually gives me everything I need to know.

I just made the diamond, the flower and the braid and they came out great. I used a bit of egg wash to golden up the tops a bit. I think I'm going to make some sugar glaze to lightly brush over them next time in addition to the tapping of the powdered sugar. Love the recipe.

I used the 2nd design to make a savoury pastry, filled with pesto and mozzarella, topped with cherry tomatoes, drizzled with a balsamic glaze. Absolutely delicious!

[nataliecheng]

Is it just me or is watching puff pastry dough rise really satisfying?

[ziptionroseperfect]

The last one, I out vanilla ice cream on to while its warm...trust me its amazing. Been doing it every Christmas for the past 3 years

So simple yet absolutely delicious! The flowers and the braids are my family’s favorites. Just baked again this morning, and couldn’t stop eating more and more, even though I already put on 10 lbs since the stay home order...

I am an arts and crafts teacher....and this video is more creative than my entire life...👍 I am done

[sariahsmith]

*I just made all four of these and they look and taste unreal. **_Highly recommend these--they're incredible._*

[edsautter]

I did this for this mornings breakfast and they went over quite well. They asked for them again. Can't be any more simple to make and were well received. I did mine without the strawberry as I didn't care for them and used just the raspberry and blueberries instead. I tried to make the flower from a cut out smaller sq and they need to be made out of a bigger sq but all were simple and enjoyed. How simple and yet so good.

I made this today for the first time for my family's Christmas dinner and all the kids loved it! Super easy to make and delicious!

[craftychick]

I made this and it turned out so good. This is a must. It was the first recipe I tried and everyone loved it.

[Sakazhua]

Happy to come across this. Instead of making a cheesecake i want to give these variations as take dessert gifts after my dinner party ❤

[snowchips]

I made this the year this video came out and it is still one of my favorite things I've baked!

[ninnichigo]

i made the braid with strawberry preserves instead of chocolate chips and the cream cheese filling. i also brushed it with some egg wash before baking it and they turned out delicious! definitely will be making again someday!

I have made this before, literally the easiest and tastiest treat I have ever made. It's also the best pastry I have ever tried. Suggestion: you should try adding small apple slices on the last kind of pastry in the video right on top of the cream cheese mixture, to make it better add some brown sugar mixed with cinnamon or something like that right on top. SO GOOOOD

[zahrabhangar]

I tried this and it came out good... IT TASTES AMAZING!!! I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE!!!! EVEN MY WORST ENEMY

[jessicablack]

I made these. They looked fine, and tasted amazing! The raspberry and chocolate ones were my favorite.

[jdawso]

Omg I made the braid it was heaven on Earth I'm 100% giving it to my classmates

[gypsybellab]

I made them all with strawberry rhubarb and cream cheese filling and also a Big Galette in the shape of the flower. They were beautiful and delish!
