Cream Cheese Rhubarb Puff Pastry
I make this cream cheese rhubarb puff pastry recipe when I’m looking for a different type of sandwich to eat. It’s easy to make and oh, so delicious.
This puff pastry sandwich is so delicious because not only do the cream cheese and rhubarb sauce complement each other, but the flaky pastry just melts in your mouth.
Did you eat cream cheese and jelly sandwiches as a child? I did. (Christopher didn’t. But he was deprived.) If I couldn’t have a peanut butter and fluff (marshmallow creme) sandwich, then my second choice would be cream cheese and jelly.
Way back in those days, they didn’t have whipped cream cheese so it was always a challenge to not rip the bread when attempting to spread the block cream cheese on it!

How to make rhubarb pastry
Pre-step
Take a sheet of puff pastry out of the freezer to let it defrost for at 40 minutes.
Step one
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Step two
Gather the ingredients – I use my rhubarb sauce and I recommend you do too but if you want to make this when rhubarb isn’t in season, use the jam of your choice and whipped cream cheese.
Step three
Spread cream cheese on two of the pastry squares and add rhubarb sauce. Use as much as you want but don’t go all the way to the edges of the puff pastry dough.
Step four
Take the empty squares and place them on top of the filled ones. Press down the edges to makie sure that they’re sealed.
Step five
Bake for 15 minutes.
Look at how puffy they get! It will deflate but it is glorious.
Time to cut one and eat it.
So flakey. Yum, yum.
This rhubarb puff pastry is so delicious. You can use any sauce or jelly/jam, but I enjoyed it with the rhubarb sauce.
And as always, may all your dishes be delish!

Oh man, that looks good! Cream cheese and jelly was my fave! My dad used to make this recipe with short ribs and a horseradish cream sauce every time my Mom would go out of town. (He’s German so everything had to have cream sauce!) We all hated it. It was so fatty! But we used to eat so as not to hurt his feelings! 🙂
Hehe. Thanks for telling me that Beth!! I love when peeps answer my questions. 🙂
My husband loves these! My mother-in-law makes them. I will pass this recipe on to her as these sound much better than hers. Ssshhh!
Jacque, Hehe, you’re secret is safe with me. Thanks for commenting.
Rhubarb is a very underrated fruit. I bet it tastes lovely in this pastry
It really does Bintu. Thank you!
That’s an amazing snack idea! specially adding rhubarb and cream cheese would be so awesome together.
Thank you Prasanna!
I was like that with my great grandmother’s weird German recipes (which as an adult, I would probably enjoy!). My husband says I’m weird for liking cream cheese and jelly, but now I can tell him that it’s actually a thing. 😉 I look forward to trying this next summer when I have lots and lots of rhubarb to experiment with.
I wonder if it’s a German thing, Rae. I remember having these with my grandmother, who was German. Thank you for commenting!
Sandwich, breakfast, snack, I’ll take it!! Love my puff pastry. And yours. Delish recipe.
Thanks Chris!
