Ingredients
-
2 sheets of puff pastry
8 oz of cream cheese
2/3 granulated sugar
Vanilla extract
1 egg
water
Tips
Some sugar can be put on top of the “quesitos” for a caramelized topping. Apricot counting or confectioners or powder sugar can be used for decoration.
Use a lighter version of the regular cream cheese for a healthier version.
They are great for parties as sweet appetizer or as desserts. In Puerto Rico they are usually eaten with some coffee for breakfast. Enjoy!
Directions
1. Thaw the frozen puff pastry.
2. Bring cream cheese to room temperature so it becomes soft.
3. Preheat oven at 375°C.
4. In a bowl mix (by hand or electric mixer) the cream cheese, sugar and a few drops of vanilla extract.
5. Mix egg with some water to make an egg wash.
