I'm not a big fan of cream cheese, but I loved these pastries! The raspberry filling is perfectly tart and sweet, and the pastry is light and flaky.

I used frozen raspberries in this recipe and they worked perfectly. I didn't even have to thaw them first.

The pastries were good, but they were a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some more butter to the dough next time.

These pastries were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
