Strawberry Cheesecake Turnovers: An Indulgent Homemade Delight

While the strawberry filling cools, let’s whip up the cheesecake filling:

• Gather Your Ingredients:
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg yolk
• A pinch of salt
• Mix It Up:

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
2. Add the sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolk, and salt. Beat until well combined and creamy.
3. Set the filling aside; we’ll use it shortly.

This creamy filling is what takes your strawberry cheesecake turnovers from good to unforgettable.

Assembling the Turnovers

Now that you have both fillings ready, it’s time to assemble the turnovers.

• Prepare Your Dough:
• You can use pre-made puff pastry or pie crust. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface.
• Cut the Dough:

1. Cut the dough into squares, about 4×4 inches each (you’ll likely get 8-10 squares).
2. Spoon a tablespoon of cheesecake filling onto the center of each square, followed by a tablespoon of strawberry filling.

• Seal the Turnovers:

1. Fold the dough over to form a triangle, sealing the edges by pressing with a fork.
2. Make a few slits on top for steam to escape.
