Berry Cream Cheese Pastries - FOOD PHOTO SHOOT

in photography •  7 years ago 

Do you ever start a project, get interrupted, and then forget about it.

Well I do. I seem to do that a lot actually. Part of it is that I’m always thinking ahead of what I want to make for the blog next and bouncing inspiration around my head. The internet doesn’t help either with the 5 gabillion possible distractions.

In case you haven’t noticed it can be very stimulating. I mean, who hasn’t gotten lost in pinterest or been caught procrastinating life through IG? It happens, admit it. Plus, try as I might, I’m not the most organized person in the world. I should really work on that.

I got in one of my moods about a week ago and decided to make puff pastry. I put all the time into it, did all of the folds right, felt pretty proud of myself for a minute or two, and then I put it up for later. Of course then I forgot all about it for a whole week. I know, how can you forget about puff pastry!

Anyway, I did finally remember it and of course got super excited when I did. I’ve never actually looked specifically for it, but I’m pretty sure you can get ready to go puff pastry sheets here, but making it at home is always a better flavor option. I really like making it though and I want to show you guys how eventually.

And it’s full on Winter now which means snow, like a lot of it. That means challenged photography lighting. The weather flipped a switch or something and I’ve been freezing all week. Clearly it’s time to pull out the fuzzy pants. I have a slight addiction to fluffy pajamas in case I’ve never mentioned that.

So, I’ve written the recipe as using puff pastry sheets but I totally think you should try making it yourself. However, I know that it’s a little intimidating and I’ve only done it a few times so I’m being too lazy I don’t feel qualified to actually show you how to do it today. I totally get just buying it and store-bought puff pastry is usually pretty good quality anyway. If you do feel like trying to make it though, there are a bunch of really good tutorials out there and maybe after I get it down I’ll do my own.

Now that I’ve finished making a ton of excuses I will finally shut up and let you make this recipe that is super easy once you have ready puff pastry.

I'M CRAZY FOR CREAM CHEESE

so sorry it took me 7 days to respond @danizaharie, thanks so much for the comment

Wow. Looking so Delicious. "I love it BERRY much!"

Thanks @pariza! Glad you enjoyed it!

Ingredients

2 sheets (or one 17.3 ounce package) puff pastry
1/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar, divided
6 ounce cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup raspberry preserves
Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
In a small bowl mix softened cream cheese with vanilla and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and lay out one sheet of puff pastry. Brush with half of melted butter and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar. Cut into 6 strips lengthwise.
Hold both ends of each strip and gently twist a few times then swirl them into coils. Tuck ends underneath and press together with opposite end in center then place on baking tray. Repeat with other 5 strips then repeat last 2 steps with second sheet.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon cream cheese mix into centers of each followed by 1 tablespoon raspberry preserves.
