Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 premade pie crust
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup raspberry preserves
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, raspberry preserves, and vanilla extract. Stir to mix the ingredients until smooth.
- Unroll the pie crust on a flat surface. Use a spatula to spread the cream cheese mixture in a thin layer over the entire crust.
- Starting at one end, roll up the crust into a log shape, then wrap the dough with plastic wrap. Chill the crust for at least one hour in the refrigerator.
- When you’re ready to start baking, preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the rolled up dough and cut the log into ½ inch slices. Place the pinwheel slices on the lined baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the pie crust begins to brown.
- Allow to the pastries to cool to room temperature, then top with powdered sugar before serving.
