Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, crack one egg and whisk with water and a pinch of salt to create an egg wash. Set aside.
  3. Dust a surface with flour and roll out the thawed puff pastry into a square about 10.5 inches. Cut the dough into 9 equal squares, each about 3.5 inches.
  4. Place about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Add approximately 4 fresh raspberries. Fold corners of each square towards the center and pinch to seal.
  5. Place pastries on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Position the oven rack in the center.
  7. Brush tops of pastries with the egg wash. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  8. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Optionally sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
