Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to about ¼ inch thick.
Mix softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth, then spread over the rolled-out pastry.
Evenly layer a thin coat of raspberry preserves over the cream cheese mixture.
Gently roll the pastry from one end to create a log, then slice into 1-2 inch wide strips.
Twist each pastry strip gently, then place it upright in a greased muffin tin.
Bake for 22-25 minutes in the preheated oven until golden and puffed.
Cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
