Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

Strudel:

  • 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

Glaze:

  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar

  • 2 teaspoons milk, or more as needed

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Mix egg and water together in a bowl.

  3. Beat cream cheese, white sugar, and lemon juice together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until desired consistency for glaze is reached; drizzle over strudels.

Cook's Note:

Thaw pastry sheets at room temperature for 30 minutes.
