Serving Size 8 servings

Ingredients

Puff Pastry

  • 1 package puff pastry (thawed according to package instructions)

Berry Filling

  • 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, fresh or thawed frozen, drained)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar Adjust depending on berry sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch For thickening, can swap for arrowroot if gluten-free
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Assembly

  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar For dusting

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the puff pastry into a roughly 10x12-inch rectangle. Keep it chilled as you work.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla. Toss gently until the fruit is coated. Let sit for 5 minutes for the sugar to draw juices.

Assembly

  • Spoon the berry mixture onto one half of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border all around.
  • Fold the empty pastry half over the filling to form a pocket. Press the edges together, then crimp with a fork to seal.
  • Brush the top of the strudel with the beaten egg and score three or four slits in the top for steam to escape.

Baking

  • Bake on the prepared sheet for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and evenly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt. Can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen.
