These Raspberry Cream Cheese Bites are flaky, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet — perfect for Valentine’s Day, brunch spreads, or tea party trays. Made with buttery puff pastry, a swirl of lightly sweetened cream cheese, and a pop of raspberry jam, they’re the kind of one-bite dessert that looks fancy but couldn’t be easier to make!
Ingredients
-
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
-
4 oz cream cheese, softened
-
2 tbsp powdered sugar
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/3 cup raspberry jam or preserves
-
1 egg (for egg wash)
-
Optional: fresh raspberries, powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin pan or line with paper liners.
-
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
-
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 12 squares.
-
Press each square gently into a mini muffin cup.
-
Add about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into each cup, followed by a small dollop of raspberry jam.
-
Optional: Top with a fresh raspberry for extra flair.
-
Lightly brush exposed pastry with egg wash for golden edges.
-
Bake for 14–17 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
-
Let cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
-
You can swap raspberry jam for strawberry, blackberry, or lemon curd — anything goes!
-
Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat gently in the oven or air fryer.
-
Add lemon zest to the cream cheese for a citrusy twist!
-
These also freeze well — pop them in an airtight container after baking and cool completely first.
