Imagine looking down on a golden, flaky stack of puff pastry squares layered with velvety cream cheese filling, then dusted with a blanket of powdered sugar. The top layer is adorned with vibrant, plump raspberries scattered like little rubies. The piece de resistance: a drizzle of rich, dark chocolate that elegantly spirals across the dessert.
