  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice

Peach Filling:

  • 1 (15 oz) can Del Monte Garden Quality® sliced peaches (raspberry-flavored, optional), drained

For the Pastry:

  • 1 sheet store-bought frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions

Egg Wash:

  • 1 large egg mixed with 1 Tbsp water

Toppings:

  • Coarse sugar (e.g., raw sugar)

Glaze:

  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar mixed with 1/2 Tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, salt, and lemon juice, and mix until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Peach Filling: Slice the drained peaches into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  4. Assemble the Pastry: Dust a sheet of parchment paper with flour. Roll out the puff pastry sheet and spread the cream cheese mixture down the center third, leaving a border. Arrange peach slices on top.
  5. Cut and Braid the Pastry: Trim the corners, make diagonal notches along the sides, fold the strips over the filling in a crisscross pattern to form a braid.
  6. Egg Wash: Beat the egg and water, brush the pastry, sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  7. Bake: Bake at 400°F for 25-28 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  8. Glaze and Serve: Once cooled, mix powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze. Drizzle over the pastry.
