Fruity Cream Cheese Filling Recipes

Steps:

• BEAT cream cheese in large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla. Pour into baked pie crust.
• REFRIGERATE 3 hours or until set. Arrange fruit on top of pie. If coating berries, stir jam or jelly until smooth. Brush berries with jam and serve.
• *If using bananas, dip in lemon juice before placing on pie to keep them from turning brown. Do not coat with jam.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC), and prepare two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until fully combined.
• Lightly flour the surface and roll out puff pastry on top to flatten.
• Cut each sheet of puff pastry into 9 equal squares.
• On the top right and bottom left of the pastry, cut an L shape approximately ½ inch (1 cm) from the edge.
• NOTE: This L shape should reach all the way down and across the square, however both L shapes should not meet at the ends. Your pastry should look like a picture frame with two corners still intact.
• Take the upper right corner and fold down towards the inner bottom corner. You will now have a diamond shape.
• Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of the cream cheese filling in the middle, then place berries on top.
• Repeat with the remaining pastry squares and place them onto the parchment covered baking sheet.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and puffed.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, cream together cream cheese and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Refrigerate before using to fill pastries prior to baking them.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9-inch square metal baking pan with cooking spray. Fold a 17-inch length of heavy-duty foil to 8 1/2 inches wide and fit in the pan bottom and up 2 sides, so you can use the foil overhang as a handle to pull the baked cake from the pan.
• Topping: Use hands to thoroughly mix ingredients in a medium bowl, pressing together to form large clumps; set aside.
• Cream cheese filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until thoroughly mixed. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth; set aside.
• Cake: Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer set on medium-high until light and fluffy. Beat in egg until smooth. Beat in half the dry ingredients, then the remaining yogurt. Beat until ingredients are fully incorporated.
• Spread batter evenly over prepared pan. Spread cream cheese filling over batter. Dollop fruit filling (or sprinkle chocolate chips) over cream cheese filling. Finally, sprinkle evenly with crumble topping, pressing on it lightly to adhere.
• Bake until batter is fully set and topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Run a thin-bladed knife around the sides, then use foil handles to pull cake from pan onto the wire rack. Cool to room temperature and serve. Can be covered with foil and stored at room temperature for one day.

• Brush the fruit with the melted apple jelly and serve.
