Creating strawberry cheesecake turnovers is a delightful way to combine a classic dessert with a handheld treat.

So, let’s roll up our sleeves and get started!

Making the Strawberry Filling

First things first, you’ll want to prepare the strawberry filling, as it needs some time to cool down before being added to the turnovers. Here’s how you do it:

• Gather Your Ingredients:
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• Cook the Strawberries:

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
2. Cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to bubble and the strawberries release their juices.
3. If you want a thicker filling, mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry and add it to the mixture. Stir until thickened, about 1–2 more minutes.
4. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
