So apparently I’ve been slacking lately, but I did manage to film and shoot this super easy Soft Cheese and Jam Pastries for y’all! The hot weather has been driving me crazy and it’s meant I haven’t wanted to stand in the kitchen shooting recipes. This one however requires minimal effort (sums up my style of cooking, lol) but the pastries look like you picked them up from your local bakery. I love soft cheese and using sweetened soft cheese in dessert recipes is always a yes yes! Jam makes the pastries nice and sweet, just the way they should be. Serve cold as part of a teatime spread or serve warm with a scoop of ice cream and fruits for a light after dinner dessert, you’re bound to love them because they’re so simple but tasty!

This recipe is amazing
So quick and easy to whip up and even if your pastry folding skills aren’t great, they still come out looking lovely ! I’ve got family members who normally dislike jam but they LOVE these !! They taste amazing fresh out of the oven but having said that even hours late when they are cold they are still great.

Can I use cheese triangles with the jam will that work instead of cream cheese. Last minute and eid is tomorrow don’t have time to get.
afelia’s kitchen
I’ve not tried it with cheese triangles but I guess you could try.

Hi,
As soft cream is used in this recipe, how do you store them overnight after baking it? Does it need to be refrigerated or not after baking it? X
afelia’s kitchen
Hi, no need to refrigerate, just store in an airtight container. x

Salaam sis,
If I prepare these a day before and freeze them, how long should I leave them out before baking?
Thanks in advance.
afelia’s kitchen
Wa alaikum as salaam…..bake straight from frozen.

I’ve not tried with shortcrust but I don’t see why not. x

Such a simple yet delicious treat which look amazing too! Everyone loves them and also made a sugar free version for my dad using sweetener instead of icing sugar and sugar free jam which turned out just as good.
afelia’s kitchen
I love that you adapted the recipe to make a sugar free version, well done! 😀
Jubeda
Hi!! Could these be served the day after if made night before?
Thank you!!!
afelia’s kitchen
I don’t see why not, they would be best served baked fresh on the day but if you bake them the night before, make sure you store in an airtight container. x
Shaida Karwa
Delicious, just made them
afelia’s kitchen
Great, so glad you liked them! 🙂

As salaam. Can I use butter pastry for this or does it have to be puff pastry? I am worried if the butter pastry may make it too rich.
afelia’s kitchen
Sorry what is butter pastry? Do you mean shortcrust pastry? I would recommend only puff pastry as butter pastry would make it fairly dense and rich instead of light and airy. x
Shalena

JazakAllahu Khair for such an easy recipe. I’m rubbish at most things and most things that take people 20 minutes takes me 2 hours. This was such a lovely and easy recipe even I managed to do it so quick! I was abit doubtful about having cream cheese frosting in the oven (I’ve only ever had it on cakes) but it turned out amazing. Everyone absolutely loved it. What a lovely idea and thank you for sharing. May you be granted continous barakah in all that you do.
Shuhada
This recipe is great m’a . So easy and has gone down a treat.
Thank you

If you make this from frozen puff pastry how can you store it?
afelia’s kitchen
Freeze or refrigerate until it’s time to bake.
Sakia oni
Hi can I make them a day before eid by storing it air tight?
afelia’s kitchen
Yes of course, they taste good when they’re hot out of the oven though, so if you want you can blast them for a few minutes in the oven for that ‘freshly baked’ taste. 🙂
Rukshana
Can I freeze these?
afelia’s kitchen
Yes x
Fadhela
As salaam. I want to make this for eid. Please tell me, could I use butter pastry? I am worried if it would work or will it be too rich? JazakAllah.
afelia’s kitchen
What do you mean when you say butter pastry? I’ve never heard of butter pastry before, is that short crust pastry?
Rumina
