Strawberry Cream Cheese Pastry

Jump to Recipe

This Strawberry Cream Cheese Pastry is an excellent recipe to enjoy as a breakfast or as a snack. I love making these pastries with the store bought Puff Pastry sheets and they come together very quickly.

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.

Why try this pastry?

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 is very easy. I would highly recommend seeing the video to help shape the pastries.

Expert tips

  • Use any berries or a mix of berries instead of strawberries for a different flavor.
  • Fresh strawberries work the best to make this cream cheese pastry.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make this with any other pastry dough other than puff pastry sheet?

I use frozen puff pastry sheet to make the strawberry pastry. We can use homemade pastry sheets or also use crescent roll dough to make these.

How can I store the leftover strawberry cream cheese puff pastry?

Store the pastries in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days and after that freeze them to extend the shelf life.

Can I freeze strawberry cream cheese pastry?

Yes we can store the cream cheese pastry before baking or after baking. Before baking, place them on a tray and let it freeze. Then place them in a freezer safe container and freeze for 4 to 6 weeks. Just take them out when ready to bake. If freezing them after baking, place them in a freezer safe container and freeze for 4 to 6 weeks. Reheat in the oven or in air fryer.
