  • Lay the pastry sheet on the work surface and cut them into 9 squares.
  • Fold it over edge to edge, working with one square at a time,so it forms a triangle.
  • Having the wide side towards you, make a cut on both the sides to form a V-shape. Do not cut it all the way through and make sure that they are still attached.

  • Add a tablespoon of cream cheese filling in the middle space and top it with the sliced strawberry.
  • Use a spatula and transfer the prepared pastry to the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve the strawberry cream cheese pastry.
