Strawberry Cream Cheese Pastries (Only Two Ingredients!)
We always seem to have a tub of strawberry cream cheese in our fridge. Our youngest has always loved it on a blueberry bagel, so it is a staple in our house. When I was considering new desserts to make for spring, I knew I wanted something easy, so I got some refrigerated puff pastry at the store and made these strawberry cream cheese pastries.
These are the perfect balance of pastry and sweet cream cheese. They taste homemade, but of course if you really want to go homemade, you can make your own puff pastry dough and strawberry cream cheese!
I first wanted to make these chocolate covered strawberry cream cheese pastries, because I am obsessed. (Just check out my Chocolate Covered Strawberry Dessert and other desserts I have made with this delicious theme!)
I had some chocolate and white chocolate wafers leftover from Valentine's Day, so I used some to make these pastries even more rich and decadent!
Can I make these gluten free?
Yes! Just pick up gluten free puff pastry at the store. I've found it at Target, but I know other places carry it, too.
Any way you eat these adorable pinwheel pastries, you and your family and friends are sure to love them!
