FAQs
1. Can I use homemade cranberry sauce instead of store-bought? Absolutely! Homemade cranberry sauce adds a personal touch to the pastry. Just make sure it’s not too runny to prevent soggy pastry bottoms.
2. Can I substitute the whipped cream cheese with regular cream cheese? Of course! Softened regular cream cheese works well too. Whipped cream cheese just makes spreading easier.
3. Can I make these pastries ahead of time? You can assemble the pastries and refrigerate them overnight, then bake them fresh in the morning for a warm, delicious treat.
4. Can I freeze these pastries? Yes, you can freeze them before baking. Thaw in the fridge overnight before baking for best results.
