Description
Strawberry Cream Puffs are quick, flaky pastries filled with sweetened cream cheese and juicy strawberries, baked to golden perfection using crescent dough—ideal for brunch, snacks, or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: granulated sugar for sprinkling, or icing for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles or squares as needed.
- Place a spoonful of cream cheese filling and a few chopped strawberries in the center of each piece.
- Fold dough over filling and pinch edges to seal, forming puffs or pockets.
- Arrange on baking sheet, brush tops with egg wash, and optionally sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden and puffed.
- Cool slightly before serving warm, plain or with a drizzle of icing.
Notes
- Use a mix of berries or add a spoonful of jam for variation.
- Add chocolate chips to the filling for a richer treat.
- Seal edges tightly and chill before baking to reduce leaking.
- Puff pastry or biscuit dough can be used as substitutes.
- Best enjoyed warm; reheat in oven or toaster for flaky texture.
