STRAWBERRY CREAM-STUFFED PASTRIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, puree the strawberries until smooth.
• Pour the strawberry puree through a sieve into a medium bowl to remove any seeds and clumps. Chill for 15 minutes, until the puree is cold.
• In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese and ½ cup (80 g) of powdered sugar together with an electric hand mixer. Mix in the milk and strawberry puree. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk the beaten egg and water together. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Roll a foot-long (30 cm) piece of aluminum foil into a tube. Repeat with 3 more pieces of foil to make 4 tubes total.
• On a cutting board, roll the puff pastry out to 13 inches (33 cm) by 13 inches (33 cm). Slice the puff pastry lengthwise into 1½ inch-wide (4 cm) strips.
• Wrap 2 of the strips around a foil tube, brushing the edges with egg wash and gently pressing together to adhere. Repeat with the remaining pastry strips and foil tubes.
• Balance the ends of the foil tubes over the edges of a roasting pan or baking sheet so the pastry isn't touching the surface of the pan. Brush egg wash all over the pastry spirals.
• Bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown.
• Let the pastry tubes rest at room temperature for 5 minutes. Gently remove the foil tubes. Transfer the pastry tubes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 5 more minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• Fill a piping bag or zip-top bag fitted with a round tip with the cream cheese mixture. Pipe the cream cheese filling into the pastry tubes.
• Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
• Enjoy!
