Description

This delightful pastry features flaky puff pastry with a smooth cream cheese filling topped with fresh strawberries, perfect for brunch or as a sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale

1 sheet of puff pastry
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup sugar
1 cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg (for egg wash)
Powdered sugar (for serving)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry and cut it into squares about 4×4 inches.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Place a generous spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square, then add sliced strawberries on top.
Carefully fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket, sealing the edges gently.
Brush the tops with the beaten egg to achieve a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar and serve.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Best enjoyed fresh, but can be reheated in the oven.
