Lemon Cream Cheese Puff Pastry Braid  

I don’t know whether to call this a dessert or a breakfast pastry because I’ll probably serve it as both. But today, I’m making it for a lovely Sunday morning breakfast by the pool. I like to leisure on weekend mornings but it’s also my time to create in the kitchen. With a little planning ahead, you can make the cream cheese filling the night before so all you have to do is assemble it and bake it the day you want to serve it.

I’ve used all store-bought ingredients:

  • Puff pastry
  • Lemon curd
  • Cream Cheese
  • Confectioners Sugar
  • Egg

The recipe is easy – just cut strips in the pastry and fill with the cream cheese lemon curd mixture. Next, you fold over the strips in a criss-cross design.

    What is the size of the lemon curd jar? Cups, oz., some actual measurement would really help.

      Hi Janet, I used a 10.5-ounce jar of store-bought lemon curd. Hope you like it as much as we do!

    OK I did this recipe, the filling completely leaked out of puffed pastry, I was so disappointed. Any suggestions?

    All ingredients were very tasty, but not in the pastry at the end.

      Maryola, Sorry to hear! Perhaps the cream cheese lemon curd mixture was too warm after you mixed it. Try chilling the mixture for an hour or two and then spreading it on the puff pastry.
