Ingredients
Toaster Strudels
- 1 lb puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed according to instructions
- 1½ cups frozen raspberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp milk
- All-purpose flour, for sprinkling
Glaze
- ½ cup confectioner’s sugar
- 2 tbsp milk or half & half
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Raspberry Filling: In a small pot over medium heat, combine frozen raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, stirring until thickened. Remove from heat and cool completely for about 5-10 minutes.
- Preheat and Prepare Pastry: Preheat oven to 400˚F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Sprinkle flour on a clean surface and lightly roll thawed puff pastry sheets. Cut each into 6 equal rectangles.
- Assemble Strudels: Mix 1 egg with 1 tbsp milk to make egg wash. Brush edges of 6 pastry rectangles with egg wash. Evenly spoon raspberry filling onto these rectangles.
- Seal Strudels: Place remaining six rectangles on top of those with filling. Press edges lightly, then crimp with a fork to seal. Repeat for all strudels.
- Prepare for Baking: Transfer assembled strudels to baking sheets. Cut 2-3 small slits on top of each to allow steam to escape. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake: Bake strudels for 20-22 minutes until golden and puffed.
- Make Glaze: While baking, mix confectioner’s sugar, milk or half & half, and vanilla extract until smooth. Microwave for 5-10 seconds if a thinner glaze is desired.
- Finish and Serve: Remove strudels from oven and cool 5-10 minutes. While warm, drizzle glaze over the strudels. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use frozen raspberries for convenience and consistent flavor.
- Make sure puff pastry is properly thawed to prevent tearing when rolling.
- Cutting slits on top of the strudels helps avoid sogginess by letting steam escape.
- Adjust sugar level in the filling and glaze according to your sweetness preference.
- Glaze can be thinned with additional milk for easier drizzling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container; reheat in an oven to maintain crispiness.
