Ingredients
Scale

- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh peaches, diced
- 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, diced peaches, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and smooth it out slightly.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, make diagonal cuts along the edges of the pastry, about 1 inch apart.
