Ingredients

  • 1 sheet of ready-made puff pastry (in the US: 1/2 of 17.3 ounces package) thawed
  • 1 cup strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tsp sugar (castor sugar)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180 degree celsius or 350F.

  2. 2

    Roll out the puff pastry just a little bit to flatten it out - it should still be thick.

  3. 3

    With the help of a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut the puff pastry into 10-12 hearts.

  4. 4

    Now with the help of a toothpick or a smaller heart shaped cutter, score/ make insertions to half-inch from the edges. Make sure that you do not cut through the pastry.

  5. 5

    Now spread some cream cheese (room temp) within the scored part.

  6. 6

    Mix together chopped strawberries and sugar and carefully place them over the cream cheese.

  7. 7

    Transfer to oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are puffed up and pastries are golden brown in colour.

  8. 8

    Drizzle some honey or syrup (optional) and enjoy!
