Strawberry Cheesecake Croissant Bites

Ingredients:
1 can refrigerated croissant dough
1 8oz block cream cheese, softened
4-5 large strawberries
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp. lemon zest
¼ C. white sugar, plus 1 Tsp
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Non-stick spray
2 mini muffin pans
1 piping bag (or sandwich bag)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Chop strawberries into small pieces and add to a small bowl

Add 1 tsp sugar and stir until combined. Set aside.

Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, combine cream cheese, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.

Mix on medium for 1 minute.

Add lemon zest and strawberries and mix until combined.

Add mixture to a piping bag and set aside.
Unroll croissant dough. Cut each triangle in half, making 16 smaller triangles.

Spray muffin tins with cooking spray.
Add a piece of dough into each muffin slot, allowing edges to hang over (you may have to stretch some out a bit to make it fit).

Cut the tip of the piping bag (make sure you cut enough to allow the pieces of strawberries to come out quickly) and add mixture.

Fill each slot with the mixture.
Bring the edges of dough together and pinch to secure.

Bake for 8 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden brown.
Allow cooling, so mixture inside will set.

Makes 16 mini bites.

*There will be some filling left, so feel free to pipe more on the top, decorate your serving dish, or squeeze into your mouth.
