Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
Filling and Sweeteners:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Binding and Finishing:
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375F (190C) and arrange parchment paper on a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Whip cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gently coat diced strawberries with cornstarch to help absorb excess moisture and prevent soggy pastry.
- Carefully unfold puff pastry and slice into uniform rectangular sections for consistent rolls.
- Generously spread the creamy cheesecake mixture across each pastry rectangle, leaving slight margins around edges.
- Distribute strawberry pieces evenly over the cheesecake layer, ensuring balanced flavor in each bite.
- Carefully roll the pastry from one end to another, pressing edges to seal and create a compact cylindrical shape.
- Position rolls seam-side down on prepared baking sheet to maintain structural integrity during baking.
- Delicately brush exterior with egg wash to promote golden, glossy appearance.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until pastry turns rich golden brown and looks crisp and flaky.
- Remove from oven and allow rolls to cool completely at room temperature.
- Elegantly dust with powdered sugar just before serving for a delicate, sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- Choose ripe, sweet strawberries for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness in your rolls.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to create a smooth, lump-free cheesecake filling.
- Dust cornstarch on strawberries to prevent excess moisture and keep the pastry crisp during baking.
- Seal rolls tightly to prevent filling from leaking out and maintain a perfect golden-brown appearance.
