WW smart-points
To make this smart-point and calorie friendly I used 2 3/8 tbsp. confectioners sugar. Anything more that will increase the recipe to 5 smart-points. In addition, the puff pastry needs to roll out a bit to make sure you get 9 servings (approximately 10 x 10). The puff pastry scraps are counted in the smart-points, you can bake them as is and split into 9 then dust with no more than 3/4 tsp (0 smart-points) confectioners sugar. Any glaze or toppings are not counted but can be added for additional points. My favorites are whipped cream, cool whip, dusting of confectioners sugar, glaze made with lemon juice and confectioners sugar
