Steps

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Unroll the puff pastry and lay flat.
• In a medium bowl add cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Mix with hand held mixer until smooth.
• Place cream cheese mixture down the center of the pastry lengthwise in a row about 2 inches wide. Add fruit to the top of the cream cheese mixture.
• With a sharp knife, cut the side of the pastry into 1 inch strips on both sides of the cream cheese layer. Beginning at the top of the dough, take one strip and pull it over the cream cheese at an angle. Do the same on the other side. Continue until the filling is covered.
• Mix egg white with a teaspoon of water and brush onto the braid. Sprinkle with Demerara sugar. Place onto a rimmed baking sheet to catch any juices and place in the freezer for 5 minutes.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Let cool before eating.
