These Homemade Strawberries and Cream Cheese Toaster Strudels are so simple to make and are filled with fresh fruit and cream!
I hope you don’t mind another strawberry recipe.
I just can’t help it. Those berries are so red, and juicy, and cheap.
They call to me.
Ok, I take it back, it wasn’t entirely homemade, more like semi-homemade. I used a box of frozen puff pastry dough.
But c’mon… life is short, and Saturday morning when the kids are hovering around begging for breakfast, I need to be quick on my feet.
Good thing these came together fast. Pretty sure they were plotting a mutiny.
Place the frozen dough out to thaw on the counter while you chop up some strawberries into little pieces, and then sprinkle them with sugar.
While it’s baking whip up a quick cream cheese glaze to drizzle on top.
And….wa-la, voila, ta-da, bada-bing, {wait, what?}
But fyi– I did have one left over {cause my kids totally down these in one sitting} and I put it in a zip close bag in the fridge and toasted in the next morning…delish!

Homemade Strawberry and Cream Cheese Toaster Strudels
Ingredients
- 1 box puff pastry dough, frozen in sheet form
- 2 cups strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened; divided
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp water
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp milk , or heavy cream
Instructions
- Remove puff pastry sheets from package and lay on counter to thaw. In the meanwhile chop strawberries into small pieces and place in a bowl. Toss with granulated sugar and let sit for 30 minutes.
- Pre heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly flour your work surface and unfold pastry sheets and cut along the creases to create 6 long strips of dough. On one half of the dough gently spread 1 tbsp of cream cheese in the center(you should only use about 3oz of the cream cheese and leave the remaining 1oz for the glaze), leaving about an inch of dough on each side. Top with 1-2 tbsp of chopped strawberries. Fold the dough over, and pinch closed with a fork to create an enclosed pocket. Repeat for all 6 pastries.
- Place on a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet. Beat the egg with 1 tbsp of water in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash. Using a sharp knife cut 3 slices on the top of the pastry, being careful not to slice through the bottom.
- Bake for 15-16 minutes. Should be puffed up and a golden brown.
- To make the glaze, in a small bowl combine the remaining 1oz of cream cheese with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp of milk or heavy cream and beat with a fork or whisk until smooth. Spoon into a zip close bag and snip a corner off to pipe onto a warm 'toaster' strudel.

OMG, these look amazingly delicious; fresh and easy. I cannot wait for my kids to try these out this weekend for our Sunday Brunch. The variations are endless and I plan on dabbling in a few too.

I wonder what it would be like with the chocolate cream cheese…
Shawn
I’m going to say… it would probably taste AWESOME!! Great idea! 🙂
suzanne
would love to make these..but I am allergy to cows milk… any way to make them dairy free? thanks! :O)
Ariel
Puff pastry is usually dairy free. Instead of cream cheese use heavy coconut cream with a little powdered sugar. They sell it canned at trader joes for 1.99. You can also try tofutti (I’m not a fan but I know people that like it)…

Hi there! I pinned this recipe long ago, but am working into my menu planning and, girl! I LOVE ME SOME TOASTER STRUDELS!! I grew up with the boxed variety, fighting over the glaze remmants with my brother…you know what I’m talking about,the little bit left in the little pouch? Mm-hmm, that’s right. Shoot, I am all over these, 8months pregnant and all! Here’s my Q:
what’s the likelihood that you can freeze these jokers? ‘Cause they are going on the postpartum Eat Da Mama list, and I need the good stuff at the ready 🙂

I loved them as a kid, you’ve got me all excited to try this homemade version!
