Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rhubarb chopped
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 package 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 package 17.3 ounces frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is tender and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 4 squares.
  5. Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each square, followed by a spoonful of the rhubarb mixture.
  6. Fold the corners of the pastry squares over the filling to create a pocket and pinch to seal.
  7. Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Allow to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired.
