Need an easy recipe for the holidays? Look no further than this decadent Danish pastry drizzled with caramel, chocolate and pecans.
Serves: 12 Pastries
Ingredients
  • 1 Package Wind & Willow Turtle Cheesecake Dessert Mix
  • 8 oz. Cream Cheese
  • 4 oz. Whipped Cream Cheese
  • 1 Box Frozen Puff Pastry Sheets, thawed (17.3-ounce box)
  • 1 Egg + 2 tbsp. Water
  • Caramel Syrup
  • Chocolate Syrup
Instructions
  1. Mix the Wind & Willow Turtle Cheesecake Dessert Mix with cream cheese and whipped cream cheese. Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 400F. Make sure you have the oven set up for double racks.
  3. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets and play them flat onto a floured surface. Roll them out, both lengthwise and widthwise, until seems are blended. Cut each sheet in half, then each half into three rectangles. Each sheet will make 6 pastries.
  4. Using a knife, give each rectangle a ¼ inch border around the edges. Transfer these to two parchment-lined baking sheets.
  5. Add 2 - 3 tbsp. of cheesecake filling to each rectangle, making sure to stay inside the borders.
  6. Whisk together an egg plus two tablespoons of water to create an egg wash. Brush the exposed borders with egg wash before popping both sheets into the oven.
  7. Bake for 15 - 18 minutes. You'll know they're finished when the edges have puffed up, are glossy and golden.
  8. Allow pastries to cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with caramel, chocolate syrups and sprinkle with pecans that come with the cheesecake mix. Enjoy!
