Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1-1/2 c fresh strawberries, sliced thin
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp sugar
1 pkg puff pastry shells, ( 2 sheets per box,) kept refrigerated, but thawed
8 oz softened cream cheese
1/3 c sugar or use 1/2 sugar & half stevia sweetener like i did
1 large egg yolk, at room temp.
1-1/2 tsp real vanilla extract
1 large egg, mixed w/ 1 tsp water to make egg wash
powdered sugar for garnish
parchment paper

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 400. Line a large baking sheet w/ parchment paper. In medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries, cornstarch & sugar. Set aside after gently mixing.
  • 2. Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry and smooth out the creases w/ your clean, slightly damp finger. Cut each sheet into 4 squares, fold over all 4 corners and slightly roll up the the edges not folded to make a octagon shape. Place on parchment paper.
  • 3. In medium bowl, cream the cream cheese and sugar, then beat in egg yolk and vanilla extract until smooth. Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop up the cream cheese mix, place 1 scoop into the middle of each pastry " square." In small bowl, whisk egg & water, brush eggwash all around pastry edges only, avoiding filling. Spoon a good spoonful of strawberry mix over cream cheese mix into every pastry. Bake 15-20 mins, depending on your oven, but check @ 15 min mark since you don't want them to burn. Let cool. Place pastry squares on a plate, sprinkle generously w/ powdered sugar. Then do it all over again w/ the last pastry sheet.
