These Strawberry Cream Cheese Puff Desserts are so easy to make using store bought puff pastry sheets.

Simply cut them out using a knife or cookie cutter and bake as directed on package. After allowing them to cool, cut in half and fill with a yummy cream cheese filling made of cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and strawberry jam. Top with fresh strawberries and try to eat just one, it's impossible!
