Ingredients

    • 1 sheet refrigerated puff pastry (such as Jus-Rol), cold
    • 8–10 fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
    • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

 

    • For the Cream Cheese Filling:
    • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
    • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

    • For the Egg Wash and Topping:
    • 1 large egg, beaten
    • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (or raw sugar)

 

  • For the Icing Drizzle:
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 teaspoons milk (adjust as needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix sliced strawberries with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, mix cream cheese, 2 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Unroll puff pastry on the prepared baking sheet. Cut into 8 equal rectangles.
  5. Score a smaller rectangle inside each piece, about ½ inch from the edges, without cutting all the way through.
  6. Spread about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture into the center of each rectangle.
  7. Top with strawberry slices, keeping them inside the scored border.
  8. Brush the pastry edges with beaten egg and sprinkle turbinado sugar over the borders.
  9. Bake for 15–17 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  10. Transfer tarts to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes.
  11. Whisk together powdered sugar and milk to make the icing drizzle. Adjust consistency as needed.
  12. Drizzle cooled tarts with icing and serve.

Notes

  • Swap strawberries with other berries like raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
  • Use flavored cream cheese for variation (e.g., honey vanilla or strawberry).
  • Add lemon zest to the cream cheese filling for brightness.
  • If turbinado sugar isn’t available, use regular sugar for crunch.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon to strawberries for extra depth.
