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.
