Instructions

Prepare Strawberry Filling:
Combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until thickened (5–7 minutes). Cool completely.

Make Cheesecake Filling:
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add egg yolk, vanilla, and flour. Mix until fully combined. Chill for 10 minutes.

Prep Pastry:
Lightly flour your surface. Unfold puff pastry and cut each sheet into 6 rectangles or 4 squares. Work quickly to keep the pastry cold.

Assemble Turnovers:
Spoon 1 tbsp cheesecake filling and 1 tsp strawberry filling onto each pastry piece. Fold and seal edges with a fork. Place on lined baking sheet.

Egg Wash & Bake:
Whisk egg and water to make egg wash. Brush on turnovers. Sprinkle with coarse sugar (optional). Bake at 400°F for 15–18 minutes, until golden.

Make Glaze:
Whisk powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk or cream until smooth. Drizzle over slightly cooled turnovers.

Notes

Always cool the strawberry mixture fully before assembling to prevent soggy pastry.

Cold pastry yields the flakiest, puffiest texture.

You can drizzle glaze or serve without it—both versions are delicious!
