List of Ingredients

1 pkg (17.3 oz; 2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, thawed
¾ c strawberry preserves
½ c cream cheese, room temperature
1 egg, separated
4 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 Tbsp water
2-3 tsp sugar
¼ tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch salt


Recipe

Heat oven to 400° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.

In a large bowl or mixer, beat cream cheese with vanilla extract, 3 Tbsp powdered sugar, egg yolk and salt. Beat until smooth.

Dust remaining powdered sugar over work surface and unfold puff pastry sheets.

Cut pastry along the creased lines and then evenly cut pastry strips into small squares or rectangles.

Place strawberry preserves in a small glass or bowl and whisk until relaxed and loosened.

Take 1-2 tsp cream cheese filling and place it in middle of pastry square. Top cream cheese with 1 tsp strawberry preserves.

Take another piece of puff pastry and place it on top of filled puff pastry. Seal the edges and use a small knife to cut 2 small vents into the top of strudel to allow steam to escape.

Beat egg yolk and water in a small bowl and brush it over mini strudels. Sprinkle sugar over strudels, transfer to baking sheet and place in oven.

Bake for 17-19 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and let cool 5 minutes before serving.
