What can I say, other than that I really wanted a puff pastry shell.  Who knows why?.. but a big buttery, flaky bite of a perfectly cooked puff pastry sounded like perfection (with a side of alliteration).  I knew a plain shell wasn’t going to cut it, so I racked my brain for what might be delicious in the inside of these lovely bites.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Cream cheese is always a good idea, but knew I didn’t want to stop there, sooo my mom had the brilliance to suggest putting white chocolate in the cream cheese.  Perfecto!  White chocolate can be a powerful flavor (to me anyway) and I was slightly concerned it was going to overwhelm the whole shebang.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Y’all it so didn’t, yes you can taste the white chocolate, but it’s more like it gives the cream cheese warmth and depth where you go ‘mmm what is that? so good!’ or at least I would. <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>These were a snap to make, and yeeesss I totally cheated by using store bought shells, but it just makes it so much easier \ud83d\ude42  These are so lovely, especially with the addition of the fresh berries, as well as rich, but I totally ate 3 of them haha.  If you want something easy but looks kind of fancy, these are definitely for you!

First, bake up your puff pastry shells…<\/p>\n

<\/a>all puffed up and pretty…<\/p>\n

<\/a>while those cool the filling,  start with cream cheese…<\/p>\n

<\/a>mix all of the cream cheese, then add your melted white chocolate…<\/p>\n

<\/a>all mixed up…<\/p>\n

<\/a>now time to add the vanilla and powdered sugar…<\/p>\n

<\/a>all ready to be piped…<\/p>\n

<\/a>yum!!!<\/p>\n

   2. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
   3. Place your shells on your cookie sheets and bake for 18-20 minutes (I took mine out at 18).<\/li>\t\t\t\t
   4. Let cool completely.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
      \t\t\t

      FOR THE WHITE CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE FILLING<\/div>\t\t\t

      \t\t\t\t
      1. With a handheld or stand mixer with paddle attachment place your softened cream cheese in your bowl.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      2. Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add the vanilla and sugar and beat again until combined.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      3. In a microwave safe bowl place your white chocolate chips.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      4. In 30 second increments, stirring your white chocolate chips after each 30 second turn until chips are completely melted.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      5. Let cool just slightly, then place in your bowl with the cream cheese and beat until smooth and well combine.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      6. Using a ziploc baggie with the end snipped off, or a piping bag with whatever tip you like best, pipe the filling into your cooled puff pastry shells, garnish with berries if you choose and serve.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
         \t\t\t

         Notes<\/div>\t\t\t

         \t\t\t\t
         1. Don't try to melt your chocolate chips on your stove top in a saucepan, I started to, then realized I was about to burn them... I really do know better, I promise haha.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>
