Description
Delicious homemade strawberry cheesecake turnovers made with fresh strawberries and cream cheese, wrapped in flaky puff pastry.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups fresh strawberries, finely diced
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 package (17.3 oz) frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tbsp milk (for glaze)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the strawberries. Toss the diced strawberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Let them sit for 10 minutes, then drain any excess liquid.
- Make the cheesecake filling. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and flour until smooth. Gently fold in the drained strawberries.
- Prepare the pastry. Unfold the puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, creating 8 squares total.
- Place about 1½ tablespoons of the strawberry cheesecake mixture in the center of each pastry square. Don’t overfill.
- Fold and seal. Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Add the egg wash. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the tops of the turnovers with the egg wash.
- Cut a small slit in the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
- Make the glaze. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Let the turnovers cool for about 10 minutes, then drizzle with the glaze.
Notes
- Make sure the strawberries are well drained before adding them to the cheesecake filling. Too much moisture can cause the pastry to become soggy or leak during baking.
