Strawberry Cream Cheese Strudel, a fast, easy and delicious Dessert, filled with Fresh Strawberries, Cream Cheese and Chocolate Chips.

Strawberry Strudel

If you know me at all you will know that I am an absolute lover of Puff Pastry. In Italy Pastry Dough is very popular and loved by all. Either fresh or fresh is available.

I love Puff Pastry because you can always make the most amazing, quick and easy desserts. We have a soft spot for Chocolate Pastry Braid or even this simple Easy Puff Pastry Tiramisu.

I have to say of all the desserts I make Puff Pastry Desserts are the ones that get eaten the quickest. And by quick I mean 15 minutes and they are gone. This Strawberry Cream Cheese Strudel was no exception.

How to Make Strawberry Strudel

If you prefer to make your own Puff Pastry then this quick and Easy Homemade 10 Minute Puff Pastry Recipe would be a perfect choice. 

  1. Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle approximately 10 x 15 inches (25 x 38 cm).
  2. In a small bowl beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until combined.
  3. Spread the beaten mixture down the middle of the puff pastry, top with sliced strawberries and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
  4. Cut the puff pastry strips down each side of the pastry, criss cross the strips over the filling.
  5. Brush with the beaten egg wash and bake.
  6. Let cool and you can sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple Vanilla glaze.

I like to bake my puff pastry at a lower temperature 375F (190C) rather than 400, I find the pastry bakes thoroughly at this temperature.

I love the combination of cream cheese and strawberries and so why not add some chocolate for good measure?

How to Store Strawberry Strudel

  • If you happen to have left overs, the best way to store the strudel is in the refrigerator. You can reheat it 350F (180C) for approximately 8-10 minutes.
  • Un baked Strudel can also be frozen, wrap well and place in a freezer bag. Be sure to bake Strudel unthawed. It may take a few more minutes to bake.

My daughter kept following me around and asking, “are you done yet”? She is like a magnet to anything made with strawberries.

So when her father came home and took a look at what was left, he said “so it was good I see”. If you try it I would love to know what you think. Enjoy!

      Would you put the egg wash on after you degraw if if you choose to freeze and make later?

        Hi Caitlin, you actually don’t have to thaw it, you can bake it frozen, but brush with the egg wash first and then bake. It may take a bit longer to bake.

      Ahh. I forgot to put on the egg wash, had it ready wasn’t paying enough attention put it in without. Turned out ok though.

        Hi Bryan, an egg wash gives the pastry shine and colour, so it still works without it.

      Thank you for such a great recipe and video instructions. It took my pastry about 40 mins to puff and brown though. I also substituted white chocolate chips. I’ll definitely be repeating this.

        Hi Napur, you don’t have to add it, but it does give it a really nice flavour. It might be too plain without.

      If making your 10 min puff pastry, would I use the entire puff pastry recipe to make the strudel?
      Thanks!

        Hi Emily you may have a little dough leftover I don’t think it would be much though. The leftover dough can always be frozen. Hope that helps.

      Hello,
      I have never worked with pastry puff before, however, I know it comes in sheets. Would I use all the sheets
      for this recipe or just one? Thank you!

        Hi Cheryl, just one sheet is needed. Two if you want to double the recipe. Hope you like it.

        Hi Rachelle, I’m sure you could, just make sure to thaw them and maybe pat them dry with a paper towel. Hope that helps.
