Here are some delicious ways to use a 2-pound sleeve of red raspberry pastry filling:
1. **Raspberry Hand Pies**: Use store-bought or homemade pie crust to create hand pies filled with raspberry filling. Cut the dough into circles, fill with a spoonful of filling, fold, and seal the edges. Bake until golden brown.
2. **Raspberry Danish**: Roll out puff pastry. Cut into squares, add a dollop of raspberry filling in the center, fold the corners to the center, and bake until flaky. Drizzle with icing for added sweetness.
3. **Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake**: Mix the raspberry filling into your cheesecake batter before baking or swirl it in after baking for a beautiful and tasty dessert.
4. **Raspberry Tart**: Spread the filling into a pre-baked tart shell, then top with whipped cream or a lattice crust. Chill before serving for a refreshing dessert.
5. **Raspberry Pancakes**: Add some of the filling to the batter while making pancakes or use it as a topping along with whipped cream for a fruity breakfast treat.
6. **Raspberry Smoothies**: Blend the pastry filling with yogurt, milk, or dairy-free alternatives, along with some ice for a quick and fruity smoothie.
7. Raspberry Muffins: Swirl the filling into the muffin batter for a sweet surprise in every bite, or use it as a topping before baking.
8. **Raspberry Sauce**: Heat the filling slightly to create a warm sauce you can drizzle over ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.
9. **Raspberry Crepes**: Fill crepes with raspberry filling and top with powdered sugar or whipped cream for a delightful dessert or brunch item.
