Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by dicing the rhubarb into small pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the rhubarb with sugar and let it sit for 10–15 minutes to macerate.
  2. In a separate large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, egg, vanilla extract, and flour until smooth and creamy.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry to about ¼-inch thickness, spread half of the cream cheese mixture, scatter the rhubarb on top, fold, seal, and cut into strips.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the twisted pastries on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack, then enjoy warm.
