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.

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.
