    • 1 cup powdered sugar, divided
    • ¼ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed

  • Fresh Ingredients

    • 🍓 2 cups fresh raspberries, divided
    • 🍊 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
    • 🌰 ¼ cup toasted sliced almonds

  • Dairy

    • 🧀 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
    • 🥛 6 tablespoons heavy cream, divided

  • Frozen Items

    • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed

  • Flavorings

    • ⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom
    • ⅛ teaspoon almond extract

  • Others

    • 🥚 1 large egg

STEPS

1

Whisk together white sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a small saucepan. Stir in 1 cup of the raspberries and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally and mashing raspberries until the sauce thickens, about 4 minutes. Remove and cool for 10 minutes.

2

Beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon heavy cream, orange zest, cardamom, and almond extract with a mixer until smooth. Chill until ready to use.

3

Roll 1 sheet of puff pastry into a 12x9-inch rectangle on floured parchment paper. Cut diagonal strips on each side, leaving the center 3 inches uncut. Spread 1/2 cup cream cheese filling in the center and top with 3 tablespoons of the raspberry mixture.

4

Sprinkle with 1/2 cup raspberries. Fold the pastry strips over the filling to create a braid. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry and filling.

5

Brush pastries with egg wash. Transfer to baking sheets and freeze for 1 hour.

6

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake pastries for 30 to 35 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Cool on baking sheets for 30 minutes.

7

Whisk together remaining 5 tablespoons cream and 3/4 cup powdered sugar. Drizzle over cooled pastries and sprinkle with almonds.
