Easy Cherry Turnovers with Puff Pastry
These Easy Cherry Turnovers are a regular feature in my kitchen. They are so easy to make thanks to using canned cherries and pre-made puff pastry. A cream cheese glaze drizzled over the turnovers sets them off and makes them the perfect accompaniment for morning coffee or afternoon tea.
I start the cherry turnovers recipe with puff pastry, by cutting the puff pastry into squares. Place the pastry pieces on a baking sheet and spoon a dollop of cherry filling in the center of each. Bring the corners of dough together and pinch to seal. Don’t worry if the filling is still showing on the sides. Bake in the oven. Make a cream cheese glaze from butter, cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar and drizzle over the cooled turnovers.
To make Easy Cherry Turnovers with Puff Pastry, you will need the following ingredients:
Steps to make Easy Cherry Turnovers with Puff Pastry
1 | Prepare the pastry | 1 |
Unfold one of the blocks of puff pastry dough. Cut along the fold lines to make three strips before cutting each strip into thirds. This will give you nine squares in total. | ||
2 | Heat the oven and prepare a baking sheet | 1 |
Preheat the oven to 375 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. | ||
3 | Place filling in dough | 2 |
Place a square of dough on the parchment paper and place a tablespoon of cherry pie filling in the center of the square. | ||
4 | Shape turnovers | 1 |
Bring each of the corners of dough together and pinch to seal. It's OK if the filling is still showing on the sides. | ||
5 | Repeat | 5 |
Repeat the process with the remaining dough squares. | ||
6 | Brush with milk & sprinkle with sugar | 2 |
Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of the turnovers with milk and sprinkle them with sugar. | ||
7 | Bake | 20 |
Bake the turnovers in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. | ||
8 | Repeat | |
Repeat the whole process with the remaining sheet of puff pastry. | ||
9 | Make cream cheese glaze | 1 |
Beat 2 ounces of cream cheese with 1 tablespoon of butter until smooth. Beat in ⅔ cup of powdered sugar and ¼ teaspoon of vanilla. Pour in enough milk to achieve a pourable consistency. | ||
10 | Drizzle turnovers with cream cheese glaze | 1 |
Once the turnovers have cooled, drizzle with cream cheese glaze. | ||
11 | Serve | |
Serve the turnovers with morning coffee or afternoon tea. | ||
Recipe Reviews
I made mine with some powdered sugar, lemon zest and milk mixed for the glaze instead of creamcheese a lot more tasty that way.
Very simple and tasty puffy pastry turnovers.
Actually made my own puffy pastry dough from this website too!!
Cool idea will try them out as soon as i get home.
Heavenly dessert made so many of them and had it with hot tea in the morning.
These small cookie turnovers were absolutely amazing enjoyed them a lot.
Blueberries and strawberries also work if your arent a fan of cherry like me.
Good with honey drizzled as well no need for the creamcheese glaze if you re trying to save time.
Yum!! Adore this cute little puff pastry dessert.
Top 10 favorite desserts this is my number 3, the first being churro apple pies and the 1st being sunny side up dessert cus i love pranks.
Replaced normal milk with almond tasted a lot better.
Is there a difference between these and cookies?
Kinda sour but still good just wish it was more sweet.
I baked a bunch of these for work its a huge crowd pleaser to say the least.
Flavorful simple and fun to make me and my kids had a lot of fun trying to shape these into hearts (-:
Sadly mine didnt turn out well they kinda exploded and the cherry was all over the baking paper :(
Careful on the vanilla extract or it can taste really bad and chemical like!! Other than that its a great dessert.
Husband is extra pleased with this dessert haha, cherries are his favorite.
Used only half a tbsp of butter and then added applesauce too .
