These easy puff pastry strawberry tarts are the perfect individual desserts that only need 4 ingredients and take 20 minutes to be ready. Incredibly elegant and super easy to make! Perfect as snacks or dessert.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment pepper.
Mix cream cheese with icing sugar and set aside.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet, use a cookie cutter to cut the sheet into 12-16 shapes (depending on the size of the shape). Transfer them to the baking sheet.
Use a sharp knife to make a half-inch border from the edges (don't cut through the pastry).
Now spread a tablespoon of cream cheese inside the board of each one.
Carefully place the chopped strawberries on top of the cream cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and the edges are puffed up .
Drizzle maple syrup on top (optional) and enjoy!
Notes
Take care not to overstuff the puff pastries. They will end up exploding if there are too many fillings.
Refrigerate the cream cheese mixture before adding it so that it is not runny.
Puff pastries lose their crispness over time, so they're better served fresh.
