Description

Delicious puff pastry pinwheels filled with cream cheese and crushed Oreos, topped with vanilla icing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed (from 1 box, 17.3 oz)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 23 tbsp milk (or heavy cream)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • (Optional) 2 tbsp softened cream cheese for a thicker, tangier icing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Lightly flour your surface. Roll out one puff pastry sheet just to smooth seams.
  4. Spread half the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pastry. Sprinkle with crushed Oreos.
  5. Roll tightly into a log (like cinnamon rolls). Repeat with the second sheet.
  6. Slice each log into 8 rounds. Place rounds cut-side up on the baking sheet.
  7. Whisk egg + water and brush the pastry tops/edges with egg wash.
  8. Bake 16–20 minutes until puffed and deep golden. Cool 10 minutes.
  9. Whisk icing ingredients until thick but pourable. Pipe or spoon icing in a spiral over each pinwheel and sprinkle with extra Oreo crumbs.

Notes

  • Thaw puff pastry according to package instructions.
  • Use a sharp knife for clean cuts when slicing the logs.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container.
