Calories: 302kcal
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry to about 10 by 12 inches.
- Cut the dough in half to make two 6 by 10 inch pieces. Cut each piece in half again to make four 3 by 10 inch strips. Cut each strip diagonally to make 8 triangles.
- Beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar with a handheld mixer until smooth.
- Place one eighth of the cream cheese mixture on the wide end of each triangle.
- Starting at the cream cheese end, roll each piece up to the tip. Tuck the tip underneath and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the melted butter over the tops of all the croissants.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Allow the puff pastry to thaw for 30 to 40 minutes before using. Make sure cream cheese is fully softened before beating. Tuck the tip of each croissant underneath before baking to keep it from unrolling. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 390°F for 3 to 5 minutes.
