Ingredients
  

For the Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon sugar

For the Cream Cheese Filling

  • ½ cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 egg yolk

Toppings

  • 1 ½ cups Fresh raspberries
  • 1 ½ cups Fresh blueberries
  • 1–2 tbsp Strawberry glaze (slightly warmed)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

  • First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This keeps the pastry from sticking and ensures even baking.
  • Next, make the cream cheese filling. In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, lemon juice, and egg yolk. Mix until it’s smooth, creamy, and slightly thick. Set it aside.
  • Then, roll out your puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Use a large star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out as many stars as you can.
  • With a slightly smaller cutter, gently score a border inside each star. This helps create that signature puffed edge while keeping the filling contained.
  • Now, spoon about 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each star. Try not to spread it past the inner border. Add a few fresh raspberries and blueberries on top.
  • After that, brush the outer edges of each star with the reserved egg white. Sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar around the edges. This adds a lightly sweet crunch and a warm, spiced finish.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the pastries are golden, puffed, and crisp. The cream cheese should be just set, and the edges lightly browned.
  • Finally, let the stars cool slightly. Then place fresh raspberries and blueberries in the center.
  • Brush the fruit with slightly warmed strawberry glaze for shine, and dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
