Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 12×12 inch (30×30 cm) square.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border around the edges.
- Evenly distribute the diced strawberries over the cream cheese layer.
- Carefully roll the puff pastry into a log, sealing the edge by pinching the dough together.
- Slice the roll into 8 equal pieces and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg to achieve a golden-brown finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry remains cold while working with it to maintain its flakiness.
- For added flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a crisp texture.
- Frozen strawberries can be used if fresh ones are not available; ensure they are thawed and well-drained before using.
