Title: Easy Dessert Pastries

Ingredients:
– 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
– 1/2 cup of your favorite jam or preserves
– 1/4 cup of cream cheese, softened
– 1 tablespoon of honey
– Powdered sugar for dusting
– Optional: fresh fruit for garnish

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Use a knife to cut the pastry into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference and the size you’d like your pastries to be.

3. In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and honey until well combined. This will be your delicious filling.

4. Place a dollop of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Top the cream cheese with a spoonful of jam or preserves.

5. Fold the corners of the pastry square over the filling, creating a sort of pocket. Use your fingers to gently press the edges together to seal the pastries.

6. Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one. This will allow them to puff up nicely in the oven.

7. Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.

8. Once baked, remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Before serving, dust the pastries with powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch. You can also garnish them with fresh fruit for a pop of color and added flavor.

Enjoy these easy dessert pastries warm or at room temperature. They are best enjoyed the day they are made, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. These pastries are perfect for a cozy night in, a special occasion, or whenever you’re craving something sweet.
