Instructions
Remove puff pastry from freezer and cream cheese from fridge one hour before preparing.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Unwrap the puff pastry and cut into 6 even rectangles.
In a small mixing bowl, add the vegan cream cheese and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar. Mix into cream cheese, then add one additional tablespoon.
Add the salt, mix again and taste for sweetness. Add an extra tablespoon of powdered sugar for a sweeter filling.
Add about a tablespoon of cream cheese filling to each pastry square, leaving 1/4-inch border on each side.
Roll up, using your index finger to seal each side by pressing down gently.
Repeat with the other puff pastry squares to make a total of 12.
Place the filled pastry squares on a baking sheet (lined or unlined depending on your baking sheet).
Brush each quesito with melted vegan butter and sprinkle with cane sugar.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
Let the quesitos cool for a couple minutes.
Top with sliced strawberries. Gently press down into the pastry and add a sprinkle of extra cane sugar if desired.
