Ingredients
  

1 Package of Puff Pastry, Dethawed

  • 1 Pastry Sheet
  • 2 tbsp Dairy-free Milk
  • 1 tbsp tbsp Granulated Sugar

Strawberry Cream Cheese

  • 14 oz Cream Cheese vegan
  • 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1 ¼ cup Strawberries chopped
  • ½ tbsp Vanilla Extract

Add-Ons

  • 3-4 tbsp Strawberry Jam warmed
  • Strawberries sliced for topping
  • ¼ cup Vanilla Icing Drizzle ¼ tsp vanilla, ½ powdered sugar, 4 tsp non-dairy milk

Instructions
 

Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling

  • Puree strawberries by adding the chunks to a blender and pulse until it is a chunky liquid.
  • In a large mixing bowl add 14 ounces of cream cheese, pureed strawberries, 1 tbsp sugar, and ½ tbsp of vanilla extract.
  • Use a handheld mixer and whip the strawberry cream cheese filling until combined and thickened.

Puff Pastry

  • Preheat oven to 400 °F.
  • Layout pastry dough. Divide each sheet into 8 rectangles.
  • Use a knife to imprint a smaller rectangle into each of the 8 pieces. Don’t cut all the way through. These double rectangle shapes create a bed with raised sides to cradle strawberry cream cheese filling inside.
  • Brush the outside border with non-dairy milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  • Fill the bed of the pastry with the strawberry cream cheese filling by spreading the mixture in the middle. Optional: Add the strawberry cream cheese filling to a piping bag and squiggle it out.
  • Bake the pastries for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let cool for a few minutes before adding additional toppings (strawberry jam, sliced strawberries, and vanilla icing drizzle).
