Make It Now Cooking Directions

Oven Cook

These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.

  1. Roll out puff pastry dough and cut into equal sized rectangles.
  2. On half of the rectangles, spoon strawberry jam.
  3. Top jam covered dough with the other half of the dough rectangles. Use a fork to seal edges together. After sealing together, poke a few holes in the top so steam can escape while baking.
  4. Brush tops of dough with beaten egg.
  5. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes, until tops are lightly browned.
  6. While strudels are baking, use a hand mixer to combine cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla for glaze.
  7. Remove strudels from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  8. After strudels are cool, drizzle glaze over the top.

    1. That’s why we encourage freezer cooking! It saves a ton of time! You would make these ahead and then just reheat on the morning you want them!

  2. Would it be possible to not glaze them after baking? That way they could go in the toaster (like a real toaster strudel) and be glazed afterwards?

    1. You could definitely give it a shot! The consistency would be the concern – with so little of an amount being frozen per strudel. But you could always mix up a small amount in the mornings after toasting it!

      1. Thanks! I figured a tablespoon of powdered sugar, with a teaspoon of milk and drop of vanilla could be mixed up while the strudels were in the toaster. Will test it out next month and report back!
