🍽️ Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Fruit Filling

  1. In a small bowl, combine chopped strawberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, and lemon juice.

  2. Let sit for 10–15 minutes to macerate, releasing juices and intensifying sweetness.

  2. Taste and adjust sugar if you prefer a sweeter filling.

3️⃣ Prep the Puff Pastry

  2. On a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry sheet.

  3. Cut into 4–6 squares (depending on desired turnover size).

4️⃣ Assemble the Turnovers

  1. Place a tablespoon of cheesecake filling in the center of each puff pastry square.

  2. Top with a spoonful of macerated strawberries. Avoid overfilling to prevent leakage.

  3. Fold the pastry over diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges with a fork to seal.
