Notes
✔️ Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and sweetness.
✔️ Let your cream cheese fully soften to avoid lumps in the filling.
✔️ Thaw puff pastry in the fridge, not at room temp, for the flakiest results.
✔️ Scoring the border helps puff pastry rise evenly around the edges.
✔️ Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
