KELLYMAC'S CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE FILLED PUFF PASTRIES



Kellymac's Chocolate Cream Cheese Filled Puff Pastries image

Like most of the recipes that I come up with I developed this because I needed a dessert in less than an hour using what I had on hand. This is what resulted, it is a delicious creamy chocolate filling folded into flakey puff pastry. Please note that the cream cheese taste in these is subltle and if you want that flavor to stand out more you should increase the amount of cream cheese until it meets your tastes. Since this was a trial and error process the measurement amounts are all estimates. This recipe would also be good with the addition of some chopped nuts or served with raspberries. Please give me your feedback, changes, and suggestions! Also, please note that this recipe is very easy it just has a lot of steps so that I properly explain everything. Thank you!
