Raspberry Puff Pastry Tarts with Lemon Cream Cheese

Raspberry Puff Pastry Tarts with Lemon Cream Cheese are easy and look like a mouth-watering, million bucks! Buttery, flaky puff pastry with lemon zest infused cream cheese filling, all topped with juicy, fresh raspberries and baked to golden, flaky, juicy-berry perfection!

Fresh raspberries are a bright pop of sweet and tart. I love how they pair with lemon zest for the perfect flavor combination, kind of like another favorite, my Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake and Cranberry Orange Bread. Combine those berries with lemon cheesecake filling, a flaky pastry, and a cream cheese drizzle, and you have a warm, little bite of heaven!
