Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the gluten-free puff pastry on a lightly floured surface, following the package instructions. Cut the dough into 8 equal rectangles to make 4 strudels.
In a small bowl, mix the strawberry jam with the cornstarch and water to create a stable filling that wonβt leak during baking.
Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the strawberry filling onto the center of half of the pastry rectangles, leaving a small border around the edges.
In another small bowl, whisk the egg to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the filled rectangles with the egg wash.
Place the remaining pastry rectangles on top of the filled ones, pressing the edges together gently to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges and ensure they are securely closed.
Brush the tops of the assembled strudels with the remaining egg wash to give them a golden finish.
Place the strudels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown.
While the strudels are baking, make the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk (or dairy-free alternative) in a small bowl. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.
Allow the strudels to cool slightly once out of the oven. Drizzle the icing over the top of each strudel before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Gluten-Free Strawberry Toaster Strudels!
