Special occasion

I love these! They aren't too sweet and are perfect for those who love chocolate and cream cheese. I could not find dough sheets, so I just got thin pizza crust, and it worked perfectly! I would love to see this with berries instead of chocolate.

Notes: 1. If you want to make this recipe a bit healthier and lower in calories, you can use less cream cheese and chocolate chunks. Instead of using the full amount, you can cut it down by half or a quarter. You can also opt for a reduced-fat cream cheese or use a lighter chocolate, such as dark chocolate with a higher cocoa percentage. This way, you can still enjoy the delicious flavour of these Chocolate Cream Cheese Pastry Buns, without feeling guilty about the calories! 2. For easier handling, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing with the icing sugar. 3. To make sure the pastry doesn't stick to the ramekins, you can use baking parchment to line the bottom of the ramekins. 4. If you prefer a sweeter pastry, you can increase the amount of icing sugar in the cream cheese mixture. 5. If you don't have almond flakes, you can use other toppings such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or chocolate shavings. 6. For an even more indulgent treat, you can serve these pastry buns with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Yum!
