Description
Delicious jam-filled pastries made with puff pastry and drizzled with icing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (17 oz) puff pastry sheets (see note 1)
- 1/3 cup seedless strawberry jam
- 1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam (or another 1/3 cup strawberry jam)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons whole milk (or half and half; do not use low-fat milk)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract)
- 1 to 2 drops almond extract (optional)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional, to balance)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside. Thaw puff pastry according to package directions.
- In a small bowl, whisk together strawberry jam, raspberry jam, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together egg and milk with a fork until smooth. Set aside.
- Place 1 puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut into 6 equal rectangles. Spoon 1 and 1/2 tablespoon of the jam mixture over 3 of the rectangles, leaving about a half an inch rim along the edges. With your fingertip, lightly brush the uncovered edges with egg mixture. Place remaining puff pastry rectangles over jam-coated puff pastry, and using the tines of a fork, press the edges to seal. Transfer those 3 pastries to the prepared pan and place in the fridge while preparing the rest. Repeat the process. Add the last 3 assembled pastries to the tray in the fridge and chill for 10 minutes.
- Brush tops of each strudel lightly with egg and milk mixture. Bake about 18–22 minutes or until golden brown on top and cooked through. Remove and, using a metal spatula, transfer to a cooling rack. Wait 2–3 minutes, then gently press down the pastries (holding all four corners) to deflate a bit. Let cool until warm, then drizzle icing on top.
- For the icing, whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk to thin the icing if needed. Transfer to a small resealable plastic bag and cut off the tip. Drizzle over warm pastries. Enjoy while warm.
