• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 12 ounces sheets ready rolled puff pastry
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 3⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1⁄2 cup light cream cheese
• 1⁄4 cup icing sugar, sifted
• 1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon milk

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400F and line 2 baking trays.
2. Place light brown sugar and cinnamon into a small bowl and stir until combined. Leave to one side.
3. Place ready rolled pastry sheet onto a cutting mat and brush melted butter all over.
4. Sprinkle the cinnamon mix all over the pastry and press slightly with the back of a spoon, just to make sure it's stuck.
5. Slice into 12 strips, about 1 inch thick, but this will depend on the size of your sheet.
6. Take either end of the strip and twist; twist one hand away and the other towards until the twist meets in the middle.
7. Place twists on baking tray, 6 to a sheet with 2 inch gaps between them.
8. Place in oven for 10-12 minutes until risen, puffy and golden.
9. Leave to cool on the trays completely.
10. Once cool, place the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla into a medium sized bowl and beat on med-high speed until light and creamy, about 1 minute. Add in 1/2tbsp milk and beat until combined. If required, add the other 1/2tbsp and mix. You want a consistency which will pour, but isn't so thin it won't stick to anything.
11. Either drizzle over the twists or place in a small bowl to dip the twists inches.
12. Twists will keep in an airtight container, at room temperature for 2 days, dip will keep covered in the fridge for 2 days.
