Strawberry Cream Cheese Pockets | Strawberry Cream Cheese Pastries Recipe

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: phyllo dough

💰Cheaper: homemade pastry dough

Phyllo dough is lighter and can be made at home for less cost.

Take cream cheese out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature.

Mix cream cheese with white sugar using a spoon until well combined.

Add strawberry flavoring to the cream cheese mixture and mix well.

Take puff pastry out of the refrigerator; it comes on parchment paper.

Use a pizza cutter to cut the puff pastry into eight equal pieces.

Spread some of the cream cheese mixture on the bottom of each pastry piece.

Add a spoonful of strawberry spread on top of the cream cheese mixture.

Stretch the dough a bit to make it larger before folding it over.

Seal the edges tightly with a fork to prevent filling from seeping out.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Bake the pastries for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through for even browning.

Make a glaze with powdered sugar, whole milk, and a little strawberry flavoring.

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pastries.
