Ingredients
- 2/3 cup Daisy Cottage Cheese
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup Daisy Sour Cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice, divided
- 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen (unthawed) raspberries
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons milk
- 1 teaspoon light corn syrup
Directions
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pulse the cottage cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, lemon peel, flour, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and almond extract in a food processor until almost smooth.
- On lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry to a 14x12-inch rectangle and place on the parchment paper. Whisk the egg and water in a small cup. Spread the cottage cheese mixture lengthwise down the center of the pastry and top with the raspberries.
- Cut 1-inch slits diagonally down both sides of the pastry to within 1/2-inch of the filling. Starting at the top, alternately fold the strips over to enclose the filling.
- Lightly brush with the egg mixture and sprinkle with the coarse sugar. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, whisk the powdered sugar, milk, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and corn syrup together (adding additional powdered sugar or milk if necessary to reach desired consistency). Drizzle the glaze over the pastry. Let stand until set.
