🍓 Strawberry Cream Cheese Puff Pastry Tarts⭐ Highlights: Crisp puff pastry base Sweet and tangy cream cheese filling Juicy fresh strawberries on top Ready in under 30 minutes 🧾 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 mini tarts): 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed) 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened 2 tbsp powdered sugar ½ tsp vanilla extract 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced 1 tbsp honey or strawberry jam (optional, for glaze) 1 egg (for egg wash) Optional: powdered sugar for dusting or fresh mint for garnish 🥣 Instructions: 1. Preheat & Prep Pastry: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out puff pastry slightly on a floured surface and cut into 6–8 rectangles. Score a smaller rectangle inside each piece (leaving a ½-inch border), being careful not to cut all the way through. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 2. Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. 3. Assemble: Spoon a dollop of cream cheese mixture into the center of each rectangle (within the scored border). Gently press strawberry slices on top of the filling. Brush the pastry edges with beaten egg. 4. Bake: Bake for 15–18 minutes or until puffed and golden. 5. Finish & Serve: Optional: Brush strawberries with a bit of warmed honey or jam for shine. Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar or garnish with mint. 🧁 Tips: Use pre-sliced frozen strawberries if you’re short on time — just blot them dry first. You can add a bit of lemon zest to the cream cheese for a citrusy twist. These are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
