Preparation and Baking

• Prior to starting make sure puff pastry is dethawed and cream cheese is room temp.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Make the cream cheese custard by mixing cream cheese, white sugar, 1 egg, and vanilla together in a stand mixer or hand mixer until smooth. Place custard into a Ziploc bag.
• Unfold the puff pastry and lightly roll it out a few times.
• Cut out as many heart shapes as you can fit with your cookie cutter (you can roll out the scraps if desired to make more heart pastries).
• Place hearts onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Score the heart pastries with a slightly smaller heart cookie cutter or a knife.
• Pipe the cream cheese custard onto the heart pastry. Stay inside the line you just scored.
• Place fresh chopped strawberries on top of the custard.
• Brush edges with egg wash and sprinkle a little more white sugar on top of each pastry.
• Bake for 22-24 minutes in the oven until golden brown.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar, serve warm and enjoy!
