Here’s a sweet and easy recipe for Strawberry Cream Pastries 🍓🥐—flaky, creamy, and perfect for dessert or breakfast.
Strawberry Cream Pastries
Ingredients (Makes 6–8 pastries)
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare filling
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Cut puff pastry
- Roll out puff pastry slightly if needed.
- Cut into squares (about 3×3 inches).
4. Assemble pastries
- Place a spoonful of cream cheese mixture in the center of each square.
- Top with 2–3 sliced strawberries.
- Fold corners over the filling or leave open for a tart-style pastry.
- Brush edges with beaten egg for a golden finish.
5. Bake
- Bake 15–20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
6. Serve
- Let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- You can drizzle with melted chocolate for extra indulgence.
- Use fresh or frozen strawberries (if frozen, drain first).
- For variation, try blueberries, raspberries, or peaches instead of strawberries.
If you want, I can also give a mini tartlet version perfect for parties or a cream-filled pastry with strawberry glaze version.
