Cream Cheese Fruit Pastries

Oooooh cheese pastries just got fancier,  faster, better and even more delicious!!! These gems start with puff pastry so you know they have to be FANCY!!! You can be creative with your toppings. I used fresh blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. All of which were yummy! Let them cool a bit before adding the glaze or it ill melt right in. Make this for your next breakfast, brunch or afternoon tea and watch them all disappear rapidly!! These really taste like you spent hours on them yet you can make them in 20 minutes. Shhh, that can be our secret! Go ahead, I won’t tell!
