Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of cream cheese – 8 oz (softened)
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1 package of puff pastry sheets – 1 lb (thawed)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup of chocolate chips (for eyes)
- 1 tablespoon of milk (for melting chocolate)
- Flour (for dusting)

Instructions
- Prepare the cheesecake mixture by combining cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
