RASPBERRY, WHITE CHOCOLATE MINI PIES
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons flour
1 package puff pastry sheets, thawed
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons sugar plus more for decorating
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1 package raspberries
Heat the oven to 400F. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork.
Sprinkle the flour on the work surface. Unfold one pastry sheet on the work surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 12-inch square. Using a round cutter, cut 12 (3-inch) circles. Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet.
Stir the cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a medium bowl until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the white chocolate chips.
Brush the edges of 12 pastry circles with the egg mixture. Place about 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture in the center of each. Top with 1 to 3 raspberries. Place the remaining pastry circles over the filling. Press the edges firmly to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork. Brush the pastries with the egg mixture and sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit in the top of the filled pastries. Place onto baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
Enjoy!
