Cream Cheese And Jam Turnovers Recipes

JAM TURNOVERS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unravel the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into six squares. Spoon the jam in the centre of each pastry square. Seal the edges by pressing down with a fork and brush with the egg. Lay on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20 mins. Dust with the icing sugar and serve with the clotted cream.

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 AND JAM TURNOVERS

• On a lightly floured surface roll out each sheet of pastry into a 12-inch square and cut each square into four 6-inch squares. Put 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cream cheese in the center of each square, top it with 1 1/2 tablespoons of jam, and brush the edges of each square with water. Fold the squares in half diagonally to form triangles, pressing the edges together firmly, and press the edges with the tines of a fork to seal them well. Arrange the turnovers on a dampened baking sheet, brush them with the egg wash, and with a sharp knife cut several slits (for steam vents) in the top of each turnover.
