Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 cups Strawberries chopped
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • teaspoon Lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
  • 2 sheets Puff pastry
  • 1 Egg for the egg wash

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup Powder sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon Milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat an oven to 200c (400f), and let your puff pastry thaw for about 30-40 minutes or until it's easy to work with.
  • Lightly flour a clean surface and use a rolling pin to roll the puff pastry slightly and cut it into 12 even squares using a pizza cutter. (we used two puff pastry sheets. every sheet is cut into 6 squares)
  • In a medium-sized pan add the chopped strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and simmer for 15 minutes on medium heat.
  • Place 2 tablespoons of the cooled strawberry mixture on top of the puff pastry, bring two edges together and seal the edges with a fork. Repeat with the rest of the turnovers.
  • Place the turnovers on a parchment-lined baking sheet keeping them about 1 inch apart. Mix 1 egg with a tablespoon of water, brush it on top of the turnover and sprinkle brown sugar on top (option
  • Step 6: Bake at 200c (400f) for about 20 minutes until golden brown.

Make the simple glaze:

  • Into a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the powder sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix with a spoon until smooth and silky.
  • Feel free to adjust the consistency by increasing and decreasing the milk to your glaze thickness liking.
  • While the turnovers are warm, drizzle the glaze we made on top. Serve with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce on top!

Notes

  • Feel free to make the turnovers in whatever size you'd like. You can make these smaller or bigger. We cut ours into 12 turnovers.
  • Keep an eye on the danishes when they are baking! They are easy to burn.
  • If you have a cookie scoop, use it to scoop out the filling to the turnovers so they will bake evenly.
  • Make these turnovers your own by adding or topping them with your favorite flavors. Add a teaspoon of jam, chocolate chips, lemon zest, fresh fruit, berries, etc.
