Cream Cheese Clouds Recipes

Steps:

• Bake the frozen pastry shells as instructed on the box. Each box contains six pastry shells. Using two boxes, all twelve will fit on a large baking sheet. After they are done, remove top and hollow out the inside of pastries. Set tops aside to use later as garnish.
• Slice strawberries lengthwise into medium-thin pieces. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar and set aside to chill in a medium bowl.
• In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla until smooth. In a separate large mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 3 minutes). Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. Set aside and chill.
• Fill each pastry with cream cheese until it just reaches the top. Spoon strawberries over top. Use the pastry tops as a garnish with a dollop of the cream cheese mixture and a strawberry slice on top.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Separate dough into 12 biscuits; press or roll each to 1/4-inch thickness.
• Mix sugar and cinnamon in shallow dish. Dip cream cheese cubes in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar. Place 1 cheese cube in center of each dough circle; gather up sides of dough to enclose filling. Press edges of dough together to seal. Place, seam sides up, in muffin pan sprayed with cooking spray. Drizzle with any remaining butter; sprinkle with any remaining cinnamon sugar.
• Bake 15 min. or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Beat egg whites and cream of tartar together in a bowl until stiff peaks form.
• Mix egg yolks, cream cheese, and sugar together in a separate bowl using a wooden spoon and then mixing with a hand-held egg beater until mixture is very smooth and has no visible cream cheese. Gently fold egg whites into cream cheese mixture, taking care not to deflate the egg whites.

• Place egg whites and baking powder in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl; beat together until stiff peaks form.
• Fold yolk mixture gently into egg whites until batter is just combined and light yellow in color.
• Scoop batter into 4-inch rounds on baking sheet, flattening peaks with the back of the spoon.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes.
