This Strawberry Cream Cheese Pastry is an excellent one for breakfast or a snack. It is very kids friendly and can be a healthy snack for them. It is very quick and easy to make.
The new trend of making these quick videos have been very addicting lately and I have been bookmarking many recipes to try. Strawberry cream cheese pastry is one such recipe that I had bookmarked from one of the Buzz feed videos and I can’t believe how quick and easy it is to make.
Using store bought puff pastry sheets saves time and you can use any berries instead of strawberry.
Strawberry is something I always have in hand and it is very hard to store some to make a dessert. The day strawberry box comes home; we end up just eating the fruit. This week as soon as I bought the strawberries, I saved about 5 of them to make this strawberry cream cheese pastry.
It took me 5 minutes to prepare for the dish and apart from the time it takes to thaw the pastry sheets, all it need is the baking time.
The video I referred to had 3 other shapes that we could shape this pastry. I have made a humble effort to shoot how I folded the pastry sheet to make the diamond shape.
When I am explaining about how to shape the pastry, it might sound very confusing, but making them in very easy. I would highly recommend seeing the video to help shape the pastries.
