    labeled ingredients needed to make strawberry cream cheese turnovers

    🥘 Ingredients

    Puff pastry sheets- You'll need some thawed puff pastry to make the shell of each turnover. They'll puff up and create a wonderful flavor and texture.

    Strawberry jam- For the fruity flavor and filling, use some of your favorite strawberry jam. You could even use homemade Sugar Free Strawberry Jam.

    Cream cheese- This adds a rich, creamy flavor and pairs so well with the strawberries!

    For the Egg Wash, you will need:

    Egg- In an egg wash, the cooked egg gives a shiny golden appearance to the baked product.

    Water- To help thin down the egg so it's an easier to spread consistency.

    For the Glaze, you will need:

    Powdered sugar- For a smooth and sweet consistency I recommend using powdered sugar.

    Vanilla extract- A flavor enhancer.

    Milk- To help thin down the icing to the perfect consistency. Water can be used instead.

    📖 Variations

    Jam, jelly, or preserves will all work the same in this recipe. Use store-bought or homemade and you're sure to enjoy the results. Just make sure to get a good crimp on the edges so it doesn't leak out as it bakes. My Sugar Free Blueberry Jam would be a good option too!

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    To make these cream cheese and jam turnovers, you can use puff pastry found in the deli section or in the freezer section just make sure that it's thawed first.

    The glaze and eggwash aren't "technically" needed but we all know the egg wash gives the golden color that draws our eyes while the glaze gives us something to lick our lips about.
