This is what I had on Friday when I was at work. I had recently bought some peaches because I love them, but I wasn't really sure what I was going to do with them other than simply eat them whole as a snack. But then, I had a revelation.....Peaches & Cream Cheesecake Puffs! I swear, pure genius. I already had everything I needed except the peach preserves, so I decided to go ahead and run with my creative instincts! These were absolutely amazing! They spilled out of the pastry a little while baking, but that's because I didn't bother to roll out the pastry and seal the edges or make one full pan. But you can if you want to. I was just too anxious to try them and have to work with a tiny kitchen! So I just split each sheet up into three pieces and made three smaller pastries. You should make these.....NOW!
