Fruit and Cream Cheese Breakfast Pastries

• 1 1/4 ozcream cheese
• 1 1/4 cupsugar
• 1 tspvanilla extract
• plain flour
• 2 piecepuff pastry
• strawberries
• raspberries
• blackberries

Method

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined.

3. 3

   Lightly flour a surface and roll out each puff pastry sheet slightly. Cut each sheet into 9 equal squares (18 total).

4. 4

   On each square, cut an L shape from the top-right corner and an L shape from the bottom-left corner, approximately 1 cm (½ inch) from the edge. The L cuts should reach all the way along both sides but must not meet at the ends. The pastry should look like a picture frame with two corners still intact.

5. 5

   Fold the top-right corner down towards the inner bottom corner to create a diamond shape with raised edges.

6. 6

   Place 1–2 tsp of cream cheese filling in the centre. Top with berries. Place on prepared baking sheets.

7. 7

   Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
