Delicious Strawberry Cream Cheese Turnovers

These turnovers are made with a simple puff pastry dough filled with a mixture of cream cheese and fresh strawberries. They take about 30 minutes to prepare and bake, making them a quick and satisfying dessert option.

Ingredients

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, diced strawberries, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Roll Out the Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth out creases. Cut it into squares, about 4 inches on each side.
Fill the Pastry: Place a spoonful of the strawberry cream cheese mixture in the center of each square. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the turnovers with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.
Bake: Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Allow the turnovers to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.
