Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Blend softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and optional sour cream until smooth.
  4. Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into 8 squares.
  5. Fill each square with approximately 1 tablespoon of cream cheese filling and top with prepared rhubarb mixture.
  6. Fold pastry squares in half, pinch edges to seal, and ensure no filling leaks out.
  7. Whisk together beaten egg and water, then brush the mixture on top of each pastry.
