Puff Pastry with Sweet Cheese and Yogurt filling

Larisa Iernutan

Puff pastry with sweet cheese and yogurt filling is an extremely easy to make dessert recipe, also very delicious and filling. The uniqueness of this sweet pie is that it is made with puff pastry dough sheets, which you can prepare at home, or you can buy frozen ones from the store. This time I chose to use store-bought puff pastry dough sheets because time did not allow me to prepare them at home, since I needed a tasty and extremely quick dessert.
