Strawberry Cream Stuffed Pastries Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk the yolks and sugar until pale in color.
• Add cornstarch and whisk well. Add the vanilla extract and milk. Whisk until well combined.
• Loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for 4 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove plastic and stir.
• Cover with a plastic wrap and chill at least 30 minutes.
• Cut the thawed puff pastry into three equal-sized rectangles.
• Pierce each piece of puff pastry with a fork.
• Heat a nonstick pan over low heat. Place the puff pastry in the pan and cook for 10 minutes.
• Flip the puff pastry sheets, and place a lid on the top of the pan. Cook for 10 minutes.
• Remove the lid and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar on sheet of puff pastry. Flip the pastry over so that the sugared side is on the bottom.
• Bring the heat up to high. Place a piece of parchment paper over the puff pastry and weigh it down with another pan. Once the surface is caramelized, about 1-2 minutes, remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature on a cooling rack.
• Place the custard in a piping bag fitting with an large round tip.
• Pipe the custard on one sheet of puff pastry. Top with a layer of sliced strawberries, then pipe another row of custard. Top with another sheet of puff pastry, custard, sliced strawberries, custard, and the remaining puff pastry sheet.
• Dust the top with powdered sugar.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, puree the strawberries until smooth.
• Pour the strawberry puree through a sieve into a medium bowl to remove any seeds and clumps. Chill for 15 minutes, until the puree is cold.
• In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese and ½ cup (80 g) of powdered sugar together with an electric hand mixer. Mix in the milk and strawberry puree. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk the beaten egg and water together. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Roll a foot-long (30 cm) piece of aluminum foil into a tube. Repeat with 3 more pieces of foil to make 4 tubes total.
• On a cutting board, roll the puff pastry out to 13 inches (33 cm) by 13 inches (33 cm). Slice the puff pastry lengthwise into 1½ inch-wide (4 cm) strips.
• Wrap 2 of the strips around a foil tube, brushing the edges with egg wash and gently pressing together to adhere. Repeat with the remaining pastry strips and foil tubes.
• Balance the ends of the foil tubes over the edges of a roasting pan or baking sheet so the pastry isn't touching the surface of the pan. Brush egg wash all over the pastry spirals.
• Bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown.
• Let the pastry tubes rest at room temperature for 5 minutes. Gently remove the foil tubes. Transfer the pastry tubes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 5 more minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• Fill a piping bag or zip-top bag fitted with a round tip with the cream cheese mixture. Pipe the cream cheese filling into the pastry tubes.
• Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cut the center out of the pound cake, leaving a half-inch border on the bottom and along each side.
• In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon zest until the mixture is smooth.
• Add the strawberries and beat until the mixture has turned a light pink color but there are still nice strawberry chunks.
• Pour the cream cheese mixture into the hollowed-out pound cake shell.
• Using the removed pieces of pound cake, crumble bits of cake on top of the cheesecake mixture to form a thick layer of crumbs. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
• Be careful when filling the pound cake and when transferring to the refrigerator. Cutting the border too thin may cause the sides to spread too far once the cheesecake mixture is added. You can simply place the pound cake on a plate or tray before filling to make the transfer to the refrigerator easier. Use something to prop up the sides in case they've bowed out too much, to prevent breaking. Once the filling has set in the fridge, it will hold its shape.
• Slice into 10 half-inch (1 cm) slices and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to 9x12-inch (23x30-cm) rectangles. Set one pastry sheet aside and fold the other in half lengthwise, then in half crosswise twice, to form creases for 8 pockets. Unfold the pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet.
• Make the Strawberries 'n' Cream filling: In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla, and mix until smooth.
• Make the Very Berry filling: In a small bowl, mash the raspberries, then add the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix with a fork.
• Spoon the berry mixture over the center of 2 of the 8 rectangles.
• Use a spatula to spread the chocolate hazelnut spread over the center of 2 more rectangles, then top with the banana slices.
• Use a spatula to spread the cream cheese mixture in the center of 2 more rectangles, then top with the strawberries.
• Place apples slices in the center of the remaining 2 rectangles, then sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Brush the egg wash over the pastry around the edges and between each filling, then top with the remaining puff pastry sheet. Use your fingers to press the pastry down around each filling. Once tightly pressed, use a pizza cutter or knife to cut out each pocket.
• Seal the outside edges with a fork. Poke the top of each pocket with a fork 3-4 times to ventilate. Brush the tops with egg wash.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Make the glaze: In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and thick.
• Remove the pockets from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Decorate with the glaze, then serve immediately, or wrap in wax paper and freeze for up to a week. Reheat in the toaster oven.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC), and prepare two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until fully combined.
• Lightly flour the surface and roll out puff pastry on top to flatten.
• Cut each sheet of puff pastry into 9 equal squares.
• On the top right and bottom left of the pastry, cut an L shape approximately ½ inch (1 cm) from the edge.
• NOTE: This L shape should reach all the way down and across the square, however both L shapes should not meet at the ends. Your pastry should look like a picture frame with two corners still intact.
• Take the upper right corner and fold down towards the inner bottom corner. You will now have a diamond shape.
• Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of the cream cheese filling in the middle, then place berries on top.
• Repeat with the remaining pastry squares and place them onto the parchment covered baking sheet.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and puffed.
• Enjoy!
