Strawberry Cheesecake Poptarts
These homemade strawberry cheesecake poptarts will bring back memories of childhood with a more sophisticated twist! I love the creaminess + flavors of the strawberry cheesecake filling, especially during spring + summer time.
Homemade Strawberry Cheesecake Poptarts
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- 4 oz cream cheese
- ½ cup strawberry jam
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- vanilla extract
Instructions
Poptarts
- Thaw + roll out frozen puff pastry. Cut into rectangles – you'll need one piece for the top + one for the bottom.
- Starting with the bottom layer, brush with an egg wash (this side will become the inside of the poptart).
- Fill with cream cheese + a dollop of strawberry jam OR fresh strawberries, leaving at least 1cm around the edge.
- Brush the top rectangle of puff pastry with egg wash + place this side on the inside of the poptart. Using a fork or your fingers, press the edges until sealed all the way around.
- Use a toothpick to poke a few holes in the top. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes then brush the top with egg wash.
- Bake @ 350 for 20 minutes, or until crisp. Remove from the oven + let cool before topping with vanilla frosting.
Frosting
- In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar + gradually add 1tsp of water. Stir continuously until desired consistency. Add a splash of vanilla extract. Optional: I added a little pitaya powder to some of mine for a beautiful bright pink color!
