Cream Cheese And Honey Turnovers Recipes

STRAWBERRY TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Unroll both pieces of the thawed puff pastry and cut each one into four squares (you will have 8 square pieces total). Set aside.
• In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix together the chopped strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch until well combined. Set aside.
• In a separate mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
• Evenly distribute the strawberry mixture and cream cheese mixture between each piece of puff pastry, making sure to spoon the mixture closer towards one corner.
• Gently fold the other corner over, making sure to keep the mixture inside, and then crimp with a fork to seal. Brush each turnover with the egg white.
• Bake at 400°F for 17-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes.
• Add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to a small mixing bowl and mix until everything is well combined. If needed, add more milk to thin out the glaze or add more powdered sugar to thicken it up a bit.
• Evenly distribute the glaze between all of the turnovers.

CREAM CHEESE TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Combine pastry dry ingredients in a food processor. Pulse in butter 10 seconds, then water for 10 seconds. Form into a ball and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Roll pastry in a 12x12 rectangle. Cut into nine even squares. Cover and set aside while preparing filling.
• For filling, beat together cheese and yolk until combined. Add preserves and mix well. Spoon equal amounts of mixture onto each pastry square.
• Moisten edges of pastry with water. Fold to form a triangle and seal edges with the tines of a fork. Brush with egg white and dust with sugar.
• Cut 2-3 air vents in the top of each turnover. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
• For icing, beat sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Place icing in a sandwich baggie, nip off 1/8" of one corner. Squeeze icing over warm turnovers.
