INGREDIENTS

cream cheese sugar egg yolk vanilla extract lemon juice salt puff pastry cherry filling Glaze sugar milk Egg Wash egg water

Step 1

First, preheat the oven 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Next, in a mixing bowl combine cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, vanilla extract, lemon juice & a pinch of salt. Whisk with hand mixer until everything is combined.

Step 3

Next, put puff pastry on a baking sheet and roll it to create a rectangle. After, add half of cream cheese filling onto the center of puff pastry. Spread cheese filling 2-3 inches wide.

Step 4

Next, add 1/2 of cherry filling over the cream cheese. Using a pizza cutter cut the sides into skinny strips about 1 inch wide, on both sides.

Step 5

Braid the pastry by folding strips in, from both sides. Take one side and curve it to make it look like a candy cane. Repeat with the second puff pastry sheet using the rest of the cream cheese and cherry filling.

Step 6

Now, lets make an egg wash by whisking egg with water. Brush egg wash over the pastry. Bake for 25-28 minutes or until golden color. After pastry is done baking, remove from the oven and make glaze to drizzle on top.

Step 7

Now, to make a glaze, in a mixing bowl combine powdered sugar and milk. Whisk until combined. 

Step 8

Finally, drizzle the glaze over hot pastry. Garnish with extra cherries. Enjoy!

Incredibly delicious puff pastry dessert with cream cheese and cherry filling, formed as a candy cane for Christmas holiday gatherings.
