Ingredients

Scale

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed; ½ cup chopped rhubarb; 3 tbsp sugar, divided; ½ tsp vanilla extract; 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese; 2 tbsp powdered sugar; 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Cook Rhubarb:
    In a small pan over medium heat, cook the rhubarb with 1 tablespoon of sugar for about 5 minutes, until softened. Set aside to cool.

  • Make Cream Cheese Filling:
    In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

  • Prepare Puff Pastry:
    Unroll the thawed puff pastry and cut it into squares (4–6 depending on size). Lightly score a ½-inch border around each square with a knife, being careful not to cut through.

  • Assemble Pastries:
    Spread a spoonful of cream cheese mixture inside the scored border of each pastry square. Top with the cooled rhubarb mixture.

  • Egg Wash:
    Beat the egg and brush the edges of the pastries for a golden finish.

  • Bake:
    Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

 

  • Cool and Serve:
    Let cool slightly before serving. Optional: Dust with extra powdered sugar or a drizzle of icing.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought puff pastry or homemade if you’re feeling ambitious.

  • Make a strawberry-rhubarb version by replacing half the rhubarb with diced strawberries.

 

  • Serve warm or at room temperature. Best enjoyed the day they’re baked!
