Ingredients:
– 1 sheet of puff pastry
– 1/2 cup of cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– Assorted fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and mango)
– Honey or maple syrup, for drizzling
– Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Take out the puff pastry sheet and place it on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to gently roll out the pastry, creating a slightly larger rectangle.
3. Transfer the rolled-out pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, score a border about 1 inch from the edges of the pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly within the border of the puff pastry.
6. Now, it’s time to get creative! Arrange your fresh fruits on top of the cream cheese mixture. You can create patterns, shapes, or let your imagination run wild.
7. Once you’ve arranged the fruits to your liking, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
8. Remove the Easy Pictures from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before drizzling with honey or maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness.
9. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.
10. Slice into individual portions and serve it warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the delightful mix of flavors and textures in every bite!
