Cherry Puff Pastry

Bing cherries, (pitted)

sugar

water

cornstarch

lemon juice

cream cheese

vanilla extract

Coarse sugar (for topping.)

box store-bought puff pastry sheets

milk

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium saucepan over low heat, add cherries, sugar and lemon juice. Stir,

In a small bowl, mix water and cornstarch together. Mix into cherries and continue stirring for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens up.

Once the sauce has thickened, remove from heat and let cool.

Cherry Filling

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add sugar, egg yolk, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.

Cream Cheese Mixture

Gently open up and roll puff pastry a few times until square on a lightly floured surface.

Spoon half of the cream cheese mixture down the center of each puff pastry leaving about 1½ inch free from filling at each end.

See photo: cut two slits at each end of the pastry about 1 inch long and fold over the top of the filling and secure to prevent mixture from leaking out.

Next cut off the top and bottom side pieces at an angle and continue to make cuts into the pastry along each side making sure not to cut too close to the filling.

Once the cherry mixture has cooled, add about three heaping tablespoons of mixture on top of the cream cheese filling, gently spread, then repeat with the other puff pastry.

Once the ends have been secured, start folding each piece over each other like a braid.

Cut the Puff Pastry Dough

Mix egg and water together

Brush egg wash over both pastries, sprinkle with coarse sugar,and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Egg Wash

In a small bowl, stir powdered sugar and milk together.

Once pastry cools a bit, drizzle with glaze and enjoy.

Large Egg

Water

12.5 oz Cans of

Confectioners' Sugar

Milk

Thaw puff pastry sheets. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, whisk together egg with water, set aside.

Carefully unfold the two thawed pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, spread each sheet into approximately a 12&quot;x12&quot; square. Use a pizza cutter to cut 9 squares in each sheet (total of 18.)

Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of cherry filling onto each square. Brush the edges of the squares with the egg wash and fold the square into a triangle so that all edges meet. Press the edges with a fork to seal. See photos above for examples.

Place each triangle on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with more egg wash. Bake in the oven for 17-19 minutes until they are golden brown.

While they bake, make the icing by combining confectioners' sugar and milk in a small dish. Combine until smooth then drizzle over baked puff pastries.
