- Spread a generous amount of the cheesecake filling onto the bottom half of each puff pastry square.
- Place the top half of the puff pastry square over the filling to create a sandwich.
4. Prepare the Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth and well combined. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
