Preparation duration: 30 minutes

Cooking duration: 20 minutes

 

Ingredients:

36 fresh blueberries

6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

2/3 cup heavy whipping cream (liquid cream)

1 tablespoon powdered sugar

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 pkg. (17.3 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets, thawed

12 fresh raspberries

12 tablespoons raspberry and/or blueberry preserves

Equipment:

baking paper

baking sheet

oven

cookie cutter

cutting board

hand mixer

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line one large, rimmed baking sheet and one small baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat mats. 2. Prepare the pastries: Lay each sheet of puff pastry onto a cutting board. Slice each piece of puff pastry into 9 to 12 equal squares (depending on the size of your star cookie cutter) and place 1/2 of the squares equally spaced on your large baking sheet. Use a small star cookie cutter to cut the centers of the remaining 1/2 of the puff pastry squares (if you don't have a star, you can cut a circle or a square instead. Remove the stars to a separate small baking sheet. Spoon a tablespoon of jam into the center of each of the (uncut) squares on the baking sheet. Top each jam-filled square with one of the cut-out star squares. Use a fork to seal the edges of each square together (just press down to make a fork-mark along the edges). Sprinkle white, chunky sugar on top, if using.3. Bake pastries for 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet.4. Prepare the cream filling: In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the cream cheese and sugar. Add the cream, and continue to beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy and thick enough for a piping bag. Scoop filling into a piping bag with a star tip- squeeze filling into the center of each pastry. Garnish with fresh berries. Refrigerate for at least an hour, or until ready to serve.

Food Joke

I hate aspects of this time of year. Not for its crass commercialism and forced frivolity, but because it`s the season when the food police come out with their wagging fingers and annual tips on how to get through the holidays without gaining 10 pounds.1. About those carrot sticks. Avoid them. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they`re serving rum balls.2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like fine single-malt scotch, it`s rare. In fact, it`s even rarer than single-malt scotch. You can`t find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It`s not as if you`re going to turn into an eggnogaholic or something. It`s a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It`s later then you think. It`s Christmas!3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That`s the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they`re made with skim milk or whole milk. If it`s skim, pass. Why bother? It`s like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other peoples food for free. Lots of it. Hello? Remember college?6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Years, You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you`ll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa. Position yourself near them, and don`t budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They`re like a beautiful pair of shoes. You can`t leave them behind. You`re not going to see them again.8. Same for pies. Apple. Pumpkin. Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or, if you don`t like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it`s loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean have some standards, mate.10. And one final tip: If you don`t feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven`t been paying attention. Reread tips. Start over. But hurry! Cookieless January is just around the corner.
