Raspberry Pastry Cups (Printable Version)

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 1 pack (8 oz) of crescent roll pastry

→ Filling

02 - 4 oz of softened cream cheese
03 - 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
04 - A splash (½ teaspoon) of vanilla
05 - ⅓ cup of raspberry jam
06 - Optional: powdered sugar for sprinkling

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get a mini muffin tray ready by spraying it with non-stick spray or lining it with paper cups.
02 - Open up the crescent rolls and split them along the pre-cut lines. Slice each triangle down the middle to create smaller dough pieces that fit easily.
03 - Place each of the smaller dough pieces into the mini muffin cups. Gently press them down to create little bowls.
04 - Stir together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until it’s silky smooth.
05 - Drop a teaspoon of the creamy mixture into each dough cup. Then add a tiny scoop (about ½ teaspoon) of raspberry jam on top.
06 - Pop the tray into the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes. You’re looking for golden edges and a set filling. Let them cool in the tray for a bit before placing on a wire rack.
07 - Sprinkle some powdered sugar over them if you like before serving.
