Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Cream Cheese Puffs
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Unroll the puff pastry and cut into 12 equal squares, each about 4x4 inches.
  4. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of cream cheese filling into the center of each square, fold, and seal the edges tightly.
  5. Beat the egg to create an egg wash and brush it over the tops of each puff.
  6. Bake the puffs for 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
