This is my take on the very traditional Puerto Rican "quesitos." They remind me of my island and my childhood. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Oh yum! As you bite into the puff pastry, there's a lovely crunch from the buttery, flaky crust. The honey-vanilla cream cheese filling is smooth and creamy. It has a nice tang from the cream cheese, but the honey adds a hint of sweetness. The sprinkled sugar on top adds to the sweetness. These are simple yet delicious.

    Cut each puff pastry sheets in either 9 small squares or 6 big squares.
  • Placing cream cheese mixture onto puff pastry and folding.
