Time 1h5m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon water
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 (12 ounce) bag frozen dark cherries
8 ounces chopped black walnuts
½ cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons milk, or more as needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Mix egg and water together in a bowl.
  • Beat cream cheese, white sugar, and lemon juice together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
  • Roll each puff pastry into a 12x16-inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture down the center of a long side of each rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border. Top each of the cream cheese layers with 1/2 of the cherries and 1/2 of the walnuts.
  • Fold opposite end of each puff pastry over the filling, brushing the edges with egg mixture to seal. Tuck the ends underneath the roll and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush the tops of each strudel with egg mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cool strudels on baking sheet set on a wire rack, at least 30 minutes.
  • Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until desired consistency for glaze is reached; drizzle over strudels.

Overall, I thought this strudel was just okay. The filling was a bit bland and the pastry was not very flaky.

I've made this strudel twice now and it's always a hit. The filling is so rich and delicious and the pastry is flaky and tender. I love that it's not too sweet, so it's perfect for breakfast or dessert.

This strudel was a delightful treat! The combination of black walnuts and cherries was unique and flavorful. The pastry was flaky and golden brown. I served it with a dollop of whipped cream and it was perfect.
