ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- 8 oz caramel sauce
- 8 oz plain cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp cinnamon sugar (mix 1 tbsp ground cinnamon with 1 tbsp granulated sugar)
- 8 oz whole milk
steps
- 1.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- 2.
Gradually add the whole milk, 1 tbsp at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 3.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 4.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rectangular shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- 5.
In a bowl, mix the caramel sauce and cream cheese until well combined. Spread the caramel cream cheese mixture evenly over the rolled out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- 6.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the filling, evenly distributing the mixture. Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the edges to seal the roll.
- 7.
Transfer the pastry onto the baking sheet, reshaping if necessary. Brush the top of the pastry with the whole milk to achieve a golden crust.
- 8.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden brown and puffs up.
- 9.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into individual portions. Serve warm and enjoy the creamy caramel cream cheese pastry!
