Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped
  • 1 medium jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Extra chopped cilantro (optional)
  • Finely diced jalapeño (optional)

Instructions

  1. Oven Preparation: Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
  2. Form Puff Pastry Cups: Roll out thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 12 equal squares for a total of 24 pieces. Gently press each square into the mini muffin tin, creating small pastry cups.
  3. Prepare Creamy Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, honey, and salt together until smooth and creamy.
  4. Make Cranberry Jalapeño Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine cranberries, jalapeño, cilantro, green onions, sugar, and lime juice. Mix thoroughly and let stand for 10 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
  5. Fill Pastry Cups: Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into each puff pastry cup.
  6. Add Topping: Spoon a small quantity of the cranberry jalapeño mixture on top of the cream cheese in each cup.
  7. Bake Pastries: Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry cups are golden brown and crisp.
  8. Serve and Garnish: Allow pastries to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing. Garnish with extra cilantro and jalapeño if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • These pastries can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • For a spicier kick, use more jalapeño or leave some seeds in.
  • They can be served warm or at room temperature.
