Description
Delicious berry jam-filled strudels made with puff pastry, drizzled with a sweet icing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets puff pastry (thawed)
- 2/3 cup berry jam (blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, etc.)
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 1/2 Tbsp salted butter (melted)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp half and half (and more if needed)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, place 1 sheet of puff pastry and cut it into 6 equal rectangles. Whisk together in a small bowl the jam with cornstarch, then spoon 1 1/2 Tbsp jam over the top of 3 of the rectangles, leaving uncoated an approximately 1/2-inch rim around all edges.
- Whisk the egg together with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Slightly brush the rim with egg mixture (section around edges not covered with jam) using a fingertip to brush because only a small amount is needed.
- Layer rectangles of remaining puff pastry over jam-coated puff pastry and press edges to seal. Transfer while preparing the second batch to the refrigerator, and repeat the process with the remaining puff pastry sheet.
- Lightly brush the top of each strudel with egg wash. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, until golden brown. Let the wire rack cool until warm, then drizzle the icing over the top.
- Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl for the icing, until well blended. Add more half and half as needed to thin. Transfer to a small resealable bag and slice the tip into the drizzle from one corner.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before use for the best results.
- Adjust the sweetness of the icing by varying the amount of half and half.
