Cooking Directions
- Heat the oven to 375°F. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork or whisk.
- Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Stir the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the pastry sheet. Roll the pastry sheet into an 11-inch square. Place the pastry onto a baking sheet. Brush with the egg mixture.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Remove the pastry from the baking sheet and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Split the pastry into 2 layers.
- Beat the heavy cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Beat the mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, rum extract and nutmeg in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is smooth. Fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture.
- Spread the cheese mixture on the bottom pastry layer. Sprinkle with the cranberries and crushed cookies. Top with the top pastry layer.
