Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Spread with filling, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Roll up tightly and close. Cut pastry down the middle to make two pieces. Twist the pieces and place onto prepared baking sheet.

Brush with egg wash (optional) and bake for 15 minutes until pastry is golden brown.

While pastries are baking, combine cream cheese, cool whip and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix until fluffy and well combined. Serve alongside or on top of pastries.
