Puerto Rican Quesitos

Ingredients

• 1 Packung (ca. 400g) Puff pastry, thawed
• 225g Cream cheese, softened
• 100g Powdered sugar
• 1 TL Vanilla extract
• 1 Large egg, beaten
• 2 EL Water

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, 100g powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Unroll the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 12 squares.
4. Place a spoonful of the cream cheese filling in the center of each puff pastry square.
5. Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges with a fork to seal.
6. Place the quesitos on the prepared baking sheet. Whisk the beaten egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the tops of the quesitos.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
