STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE TURNOVERS

These quick and easy turnovers are made with puff pastry and stuffed with strawberries and cream cheese. These Strawberry Cream Cheese Turnovers make a perfect breakfast or dessert!

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.

The filling starts with a mixture of strawberries, a little sugar, and a bit of cornstarch to thicken up the mixture as it bakes. I’ve made these turnovers a couple of times (quality control purposes..) and I’ve found that two tablespoons of sugar is just enough. You’ll want to mix up the strawberry mixture until everything is nice and combined.

Then comes the cream cheese mixture, just a little bit of cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Once you have that mixed up, you’ll unroll your puff pastry and slice each piece into four squares. I like to use a pizza cutter to do this part, but a sharp knife will work just fine too.

Ingredients :

• 1 (17.3 ounce) package puff pastry, thawed according to packing directions (2 sheets)
