STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE TURNOVERS

Do you remember these apple turnovers I posted a while back?  Ever since I posted them, I’ve been thinking of new ideas for turnovers.  With spring just around the corner, I felt like a berry version was in order.So I made a strawberry turnover and then stuffed it with a cream cheese filling.  Because it’s a proven fact that cream cheese makes everything better.

At least it does for me.

The turnovers are actually pretty easy to make since they start with frozen puff pastry.  I love to keep some puff pastry on hand in my freezer for times when I need it, it’s seriously amazing!  While it’s thawing out is the perfect time to get the filling ready to go.

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

1. To make the turnovers:
2. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
3. Unroll both pieces of the thawed puff pastry and cut each one into four squares (you will have 8 square pieces total). Set aside.
4. In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix together the chopped strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch until well combined. Set aside.
