Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 2/3 cup of berry jam (blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, etc.)
- 2 tsp of cornstarch
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp of water
- 1 1/2 Tbsp of salted butter, melted
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp of half and half (and more if needed)
- 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp of almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
- On a floured surface, unroll one sheet of puff pastry and cut it into 6 equal rectangles.
- In a small bowl, mix berry jam with cornstarch.
- Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of jam mixture onto 3 of the rectangles, leaving a ½-inch border.
- Whisk the egg with water in another bowl. Brush edges of jam-covered rectangles with egg wash.
- Place remaining pastry rectangles on top, press edges with a fork to seal.
- Arrange pastries on the baking sheet, brush tops with egg wash.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and puffed.
- Transfer to wire rack to cool slightly.
- Prepare icing by mixing powdered sugar, half and half, vanilla, and almond extract. Adjust consistency as needed.
- Drizzle icing over warm strudels using a piping bag or resealable bag with tip cut off.
Notes
- Use vegan puff pastry and substitute egg wash with non-dairy milk + cornstarch for a vegan version.
- Try different fillings like peach or apple preserves, or even chocolate spread.
- Add citrus zest or nut butter to jam for extra flavor.
- Keep an eye on baking time as ovens may vary.
