Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and gather your baking equipment, including a muffin tin and parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the thawed puff pastry to a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick, on a floured surface.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the rolled-out puff pastry.
  5. Spoon raspberry preserves over the cream cheese layer, covering it in a thin, even layer.
  6. Tightly roll the pastry into a log and slice into strips of about 1-inch thickness.
  7. Twist each pastry strip several times and place each twisted piece upright in your greased muffin tin.
  8. Bake for 22-25 minutes until they are a rich golden brown on top.
  9. Let the cruffins cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!
