If you grew up in a Russian or Ukrainian household, chances are you’ve seen a tray of delicate rolled pastries filled with a sweet cream sitting on the dessert table. Known as Trubaschkis or Trubochki, these are very nostalgic for me personally it is often served at weddings, holidays, birthdays, and family gatherings.

These delicate desserts are incredibly easy to prepare using premade pastry dough and a homemade cream cheese filling. This recipe was passed on from my generation to generation and is very dearly to my heart. You will be surprised how quick and easy it is to make and so customizable with different fillings.

The word “Trubochki” translates to “little tubes” referring to the rolled shape of the pastries. These are often compared to cannoli because of their tube shape and creamy center. They are commonly filled with:
