Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions, usually about 15-20 minutes.
Dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the thawed puff pastry slightly to smooth out creases.
Cut each pastry sheet into 8 equal rectangles, yielding a total of 16 small rectangles.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam onto the center of half of the rectangles. Spread it slightly, leaving a border around the edges.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash around the edges of the jam-topped rectangles.
Place a plain pastry rectangle on top of each jam-covered piece and press the edges with a fork to seal.
Transfer the assembled strudels to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash to help them brown beautifully.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
While the pastries bake, prepare the icing by mixing the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl until smooth.
Remove the strudels from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
Drizzle the icing over the warm pastries, serving immediately for the best taste experience.
