Ingredients
  

For the Raspberry Sauce
  • 1 box Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust, room temperature
  • 1 3/4 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 6 Tbsp water
  • 3 Tbsp corn starch
For the Cream Cheese Filling
  • 8 ounce cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray 2 baking sheets with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper.
Making the Raspberry Sauce
  1. In a small saucepan, add raspberries and sugar. Stir. In a small mixing bowl, mix water and corn starch until combined, then add to raspberry mixture.
  2. Cook on low for 5-7 minutes until raspberry mixture has thickened. Set aside to cool.
Making the Cream Cheese Filling
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add sugar, egg yolk, vanilla and lemon juice. Beat for an additional 2 minutes.
Assembling the Bites
  1. Unroll pie dough on a lightly floured cutting board. Using a pizza cutter, cut each pie dough into 16 pieces like a pizza.
  2. Spread cream cheese mixture over each pie dough and then add raspberry sauce on top.
  3. Roll each piece from the outside edge towards the center. Place on baking sheets and repeat with second pie dough.
  4. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, and dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a glaze.
