Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh strawberries, sliced for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out creases.
- Cut the puff pastry into squares (about 4×4 inches).
- Place the puff pastry squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, sour cream, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with the sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Once the puff pastry squares are golden and crisp, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool.
- Top each puff pastry square with a generous amount of the cheesecake mixture.
- Add fresh sliced strawberries on top and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure the puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling to avoid cracking.
- Use chilled mixing bowls to help the cream whip faster.
- Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.
