Ingredients
– 1 package (17.3 oz) frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
– 1 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
– Powdered sugar, for dusting
Equipment Needed
– Baking sheet
– Parchment paper
– Mixing bowls
– Rolling pin
– Pastry brush
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. While the oven is warming up, I like to roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to make it a bit thinner and more manageable. Cut the pastry sheets into 4 equal squares. This is where the fun begins! Take your softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract, and mix them in a bowl until they’re smooth and creamy. Then, gently fold in the chopped strawberries. It’s such a vibrant mixture! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
