- 1 package Frozen Puff Pastry
- Cream Cheese, room temperature
- Maraschino Cherries
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- Sugar
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
I love to make this recipe with maraschino cherries but you could also easily substitute with cherry pie filling instead.
Instructions:
Thaw the puff pastry dough according to package directions.
Preheat the oven to 400º F.
Cut each puff pastry sheet evenly into thirds horizontally and vertically so you have 9 rectangles per pastry sheet.
Place the pastry squares on a baking sheet lined with either parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Mix together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush each pastry square with the egg wash.
Spread a tablespoon of cream cheese onto the center of each puff pastry.
Add 3 to 4 cherries to the cream cheese and then sprinkle sugar over the pastry squares.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
While pastries are baking, make the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk together.
Once the pastries are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, and then drizzle the glaze over the tops.
Serve them nice and hot, or cooled to room temperature. Either way, they are delicious!

Our Baking Essential List
- We use Glass Baking Dishes for baking casseroles. I especially like the dishes with lids because leftovers can be transferred straight to the fridge.
- Silicone Kitchenware is my favorite because they don't scratch my cookware and is easy to clean!
- A Glass Cutting Board is a must to prepare all of those ingredients. We even keep ours on our counter at all times.
- This Knife Set will also become your favorite! The knives cut beautifully, and the hollow design prevents food from sticking to the blade.
