Strawberry Turnovers
As much as I love strawberries, I hate the super sour ones (obvious when strawberries are not in season anymore). My girl loves strawberries but since these were too sour for both of us, I was thinking of ways to use up the strawberries.
These turnovers have been a ‘thing’ of the past, as we have so many innovative recipes around, that we forget to cherish the golden ones. These turnovers are so easy to make and so scrumptious too! I gave it my touch by adding in pieces of Kinder Chocolate in a couple of them and some had Cream cheese. I loveeed the chocolate ones. My hubsy loved both, though my girl complained that I could have added a couple more pieces in each turnover. 😄
Let’s make these easy yet delicious treats right away!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Fresh Strawberries, chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp Corn Flour
- 2-3 tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Essence
- 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice
- Lemon Zest (optional)
- Salt, a pinch
- 7-8 Frozen Puff pastry sheets
- Kinder Chocolate Bars (optional)
- Cream cheese spread/ Kiri Cheese (optional)
- 1 egg, for egg wash/ mayonnaise *
- Vanilla Ice cream to serve
Instructions:
- In a sauce pan, add in your chopped strawberries, sugar, corn flour, and lemon juice.
- Cook on low for 2-3 minutes.
- Add in lemon zest, vanilla Essence and a pinch of salt.
- Spread the strawberry compote on each puff pastry square and add in kinder chocolate/ cream cheese cubes and overlap to shape into a triangle and seal the ends using the help of a fork and make a small slit on the top of the puff so that air doesn’t get trapped and in turn the filling oozes out from the sides ( I forgot to do that).**
- Finally, give it an egg wash/ apply Mayo and bake in a preheated oven at 200 deg C for 25-30 minutes or until golden and puffed.
- Enjoy warm with a dollop of ice cream and fresh strawberries.
*Mayonnaise is a great alternative for egg wash, that has minimal egg smell.
** I forgot to give a slit on the top, so that the filling doesn’t ooze out from the sides when baking.
