Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your muffin tin.
  2. Roll out thawed puff pastry on a floured surface to a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract; beat until smooth.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a slight border.
  5. Spread raspberry preserves over the cream cheese layer, ensuring they reach all corners.
  6. Roll the pastry into a log, pinching the edges to seal.
  7. Slice the log into strips about 1 to 1.5 inches thick and lay them cut side up.
  8. Twist each strip gently and place upright in the greased muffin tin.
  9. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, rotating halfway through for even baking.
  10. Cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and dust with powdered sugar.
