- 50g cream cheese

Techniques Used
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180C (fan)/Gas 6.
- Unroll the pastry sheet and using a sharp knife cut in half lengthways. Cut each half into 3, so you have 6 squares, approximately 12cm by 12cm’s. Place the squares on a baking tray.
- Mix the cream cheese with the vanilla and sugar and place a small blob in the middle of each square.
- Remove as much water from the fruit as possible and mix with the sugar and cranberry sauce. Place a generous teaspoon of the fruit mixture on top of the cream cheese.
- Using a sharp knife, make a cut from the edge of the cream and fruit filling, to each corner of the pastry. Pick up a corner of pastry and bring it to the middle, miss the next corner and pick up the 3 rd corner and bring it to the middle, repeat this twice until you have a pinwheel.
- Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes, until the pastry has risen and is lightly golden.
- Allow to cool slightly before carefully transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
Tips
- Take the pastry out of the fridge and remove from the packaging approximately 10 minutes before you are ready to use it, as it will be easier to work with.
- You could replace the red berries with apricot jam or canned peaches.
- For a sweet treat, blend 50g icing sugar with a few drops of water to make a thick, but runny icing and drizzle over the pastries before serving.
