So puff pastry.
It’s foreign and intimidating and scary to use for the first time. And then you try it out and you’re like… oh.. that was as easy as pie (erm.. puff pastry).
Okay, so here’s how this is going to play out. Listen carefully. You bite into it and you get a mouthful of flaky layers punctuated with a silky-smoothy lemon cheesecake and raspberry kiss to top it off. Oh baby, I could swim in that yummy cheesecake cream. It’s honestly lick-the-bowl good!
OH OH OH. And don’t forget the drizzle of raspberry jam and snowy powdered sugar. Are you swooning yet? Well, I’m on the floor in a sugar-induced faint. Help.
Actually, don’t help. I’m perfectly happy here. Sugahh bliss.
Mhm.
But seriously, ya’ll. This is a fabulous dessert. I brought it to my Obachan’s (Grandma in Japanese) house for a big family dinner last night and the tart was a big hit despite having two huge pies competing for nommage! Kyle tried a slice and, after that small pause of tasting silence that makes all cooks quiver, announced that it was better than those fancy bakery goods.
After, he shoved the entire piece in his mouth. I told him to slow down with the sweets, then got another piece of apple pie because, well, I’m a dirty hypocrite.
Did I mention that it’s done in like 30 minutes? Fo’ reals home dogs. Go and make this right now.

This looks great! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe and it was a hit with everyone who tried it
Wow, that looks so delicious!! It also sounds so simple to make, which is one of the amazing things about puff pastry.
Have a great Sunday

This looks so delicious, but the last thing I need as I embark on my like 5th or 6th half marathon is this delicious cheesecake! They will have to roll me across the finish line!
So, you are half-Japanese? That is so cool! Japanese is my favorite Asian cuisine. You should totally ask your granny for some recipes
! And this dessert looks amazing. I truly enjoy working with puff pastry – as long as I don’t have to make my own. Nobody’s got time for that!
This looks incredible! I’ve never worked with puff pastry but always wanted to! I might try this out and sub the cream cheese with maybe some coconut milk whipped cream
Please don’t be mad at me if I admit that I have never had a puff pastry.. I can say that by the title of this that I will probably enjoy it. I am a huge sucker for the flavor of lemon. Especially lemon meringue pie. Oh boy, am I drooling! I know this will be the perfect sweet treat.
Although Kyle said this pastry was better than a bakerys, I can’t imagine mine would turn out anywhere near as good… I’m thinking you just have that special touch
Gah! This sounds delicious. Actually, it sounds and looks super complicated, but if you say it’s easy, then I believe ya. And I’m seriously loving the combo of raspberry and lemon — so perfect for spring!
This looks so lovely, perfect summer dessert!
i LOVE puff pastry….especially with custard but damn, never thought to have a cheesecake twist to it!
Have you ever tried puff pastry savoury? It’s amazing with spinach, feta and ricotta!
MMM pastry puff. That seriously sounds so good right now. …..at 6:30 am.
Any time is a great time for pastry puff and sugah!
And THIS is why I can’t come here and read every post you put up – I am so jealous of how yummy this looks and your description just makes me want to run all the way to you and steal some! GAH you have an amazing talent girl! Kyle is lucky that he gets to try all of your creations, ha!
This looks delicious! Am I weird but I can never find puff pastry in the grocery store? I always want to use it for certain recipes but I can’t find it anywhere.
This recipe sounds delicious – and so simple! Love it!
5 stars all the way! This pastry was sweet and flaky and fruity all at the same time! Not a ton of the lemon flavor came out, so next time I think i’ll sprinkle shaved lemon peel on top. It was very quick to make and was totally worth the calories! thank you
Woohoo! Glad it came out well for you :). Love the idea of adding in lemon peel as well. Not only more of a lemon flavor, but it would make it so pretty!
Thanks for letting me know how it went
