Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Puff pastry sheets
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pint Fresh strawberries
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. If necessary, use a rolling pin to even out the edges and make the sheets smooth.
Cut each sheet into four equal squares, creating eight squares total. Transfer these squares to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
Spread a generous tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.
Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries. Arrange the slices on top of the cream cheese in an attractive pattern.
In a small bowl, beat together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the egg wash to encourage browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove pastries from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
Once slightly cooled, dust the pastries with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy your freshly baked strawberry cream pastries!
