STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE TURNOVERS

Ingredients

For the turnovers:

• 1 (17.3 ounce) package puff pastry, thawed according to packing directions (2 sheets)
• 1 and 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 4 ounces cream cheese softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg white lightly beaten

For the glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

To make the turnovers:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Unroll both pieces of the thawed puff pastry and cut each one into four squares (you will have 8 square pieces total). Set aside.
3. In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix together the chopped strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch until well combined. Set aside.
4. In a separate mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
5. Evenly distribute the strawberry mixture and cream cheese mixture between each piece of puff pastry, making sure to spoon the mixture closer towards one corner.
6. Gently fold the other corner over, making sure to keep the mixture inside, and then crimp with a fork to seal. Brush each turnover with the egg white.
7. Bake at 400°F for 17-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes.

To make the glaze:

1. Add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to a small mixing bowl and mix until everything is well combined. If needed, add more milk to thin out the glaze or add more powdered sugar to thicken it up a bit.
2. Evenly distribute the glaze between all of the turnovers.

Recipe Notes

Turnovers are best eaten the same day, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
