Raspberry Napoleons Dessert

Raspberry Napoleons are an incredibly easy and tres delicieux summertime dessert. The combination of a crisp puff pastry with sweet cream cheese and raspberries is hard to beat. The size of Napoleons you make is really up to you. I find that a 3x3-inch square is usually a good size, but use your own discretion.
