Description

A delightful treat combining Bing cherries and creamy cheese in flaky pastry, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Bing cherries, pitted
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 box store-bought puff pastry sheets
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Coarse sugar for topping
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, cook the cherries, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over low heat.
  3. In a small bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of water with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, then stir into the cherry mixture. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes, then let it cool.
  4. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup sugar, the egg yolk, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then beat until smooth.
  5. Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture down the center, leaving space on the edges. Add the cherry filling on top of the cream cheese.
  6. Cut slits on the sides of the pastry and fold over to create a braid-like appearance. Secure the ends to prevent leakage.
  7. Beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush it over the pastry. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
  9. Mix powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk and drizzle over the baked pastry.
  10. Let cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy your flaky, fruity pastry with a drizzle of glaze!
