Raspberry Cream Cheese Pastries
These little raspberry pastries are super delicious and as they bake, the cream cheese filling and raspberry sauce will ooze out a bit. No worries because when it bakes, what happens is that it gets a little crunchy and oh my, so delish!
How To Make Raspberry Cream Cheese Bites
- Start out by preparing the raspberry sauce. Add raspberries and sugar to a small saucepan.
- Mix corn starch and water together and then add to the pan.
- Cook over low/medium heat until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool.
- Prepare the cream cheese filling.
- Beat room temperature cream cheese for approximately two minutes.
- Add sugar, egg, vanilla and lemon juice and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Set aside.
Raspberry Desserts
- Next, lightly dust a cutting board with flour and unroll one pie crust at a time.
- Make sure the pie crusts are at room temperature.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut each pie crust like you would slice a pizza.
- Each pie dough will have 16 triangles.
- Leave in place and cover the dough with cream cheese mixture.
- Add raspberry sauce on top of the cream cheese and then starting from the outside, roll each triangle towards the center.
- Place each raspberry bite on the prepared baking sheet and then pop in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes.
- Remove from oven and dust with powder sugar or drizzle with a glaze.
- These definitely get a little messy while rolling, but it is so worth the mess. Just have a few paper towels near by to wipe your hands.

Do you think you Could you make the raspberry sauce the day before? Then just fill and. bake the day of?
Hi Susan, you sure can. I hope you enjoy these. As my blog posts states, these are messy but ooooh so good! :)
This sounds great – any reason why I couldn’t spread the cream cheese mix and fruit filling onto the uncut pie dough round, THEN cut?
Hi Sara, no reason at all. I just did it this way so I can make sure the cuts were all even. I hope you enjoy this recipe. :)
Can these be made a day or two ahead? I have a huge meal to make, with several desserts and would love to make these ahead if they will keep.
Hi Martha, I personally would make them the day of. However, we had leftovers and they were good, just not as flaky. :)
Thank you so much Terri! I love your recipes
Many Blessings to you and your family!
Aww, thank you Vanessa! Same to you and your family as well.
Could this be done with frozen puff pastry?
