Ingredients
Sweet Cream Cheese and Fruit
- 225g cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 roll butter puff pastry
Savory Pastries
- ± 125g Whipped Chive Cream Cheese
- 5 Anchovy Fillets – chopped into small pieces
- 3 extra fillets – cut into 3 pieces for topping
- 1 roll butter puff pastry
Instructions
Sweet Cream Cheese and Fruit
- Whip the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth.
- Note: I only used ½ the above amount as I only used 1 roll of pastry for the sweet filling.
- Divide your filling into 9 equal portions and after you folded the pastry as desired, add the filling.
- For the sweet pastry, add some fresh fruit of your choice.
Savory Pastries
- Defrost pastry in the fridge, and keep it cold at all times, it MUST stay cold in order to work with it.
- Open the roll and work on the parchment paper it’s wrapped in.
- Slice in 9 equal blocks
- Now you can have fun and make different patterns, as per your own liking, but be creative and have fun while doing it.
- For the savory, add the Whipped Chive Cream Cheese, then top it with a small sliver (1/3) of an anchovy fillet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400F/204C until puffed and toasted.
- If you can, let them cool down before you gobble them up.
