Can Frozen Strawberries be Used in Strawberry Strudel Bites
While I am using fresh strawberries, this recipe can also be made with frozen strawberries. If you are using frozen strawberries, you will want them to thaw completely and then drain off any extra wetness or moisture. If you use strawberries that are frozen, there will be added moisture in the filling.
Are Strawberry Strudels Vegetarian
When looking at the ingredients in strawberry strudels, the ingredients are vegetarian but they are not vegan. This recipe includes eggs, cream cheese, and heavy cream. These items are consider vegetarian. If you are looking for a vegan version, you can swap the egg wash for a wash made from Soy, rice or almond milk. You can use a vegan cream cheese and you can use full fat coconut cream to replace the heavy cream.
How to Store Strawberry Strudel with Puff Pastry
When you are storing this amazing strawberry strudel with puff pastry, you want to make sure it is stored in an airtight container or in a plastic freezer bag. You want to make sure this strudel is covered well or else it will get stale. The strawberry strudel with puff pastry can be stored at room temperature.
Can I Make Strawberry Strudel Without Icing
I have a light powered sugar glaze that I like to put over the strawberry strudel but if this is something you would rather leave off, you certainly can. You can also change it to be a cream cheese glaze if you prefer.
To make this a cream cheese glaze add a small amount of softened cream cheese to the glaze and then thin it as needed with the heavy cream. This will create a delicious drizzle over the top of the strudels.
How Long Does Strawberry Strudel Puff Pastry Last
Since you are making these from scratch, the strudel bites do not have preservatives. This means that the strawberry strudel puff pastry will not last as long as some of the prepackaged ones. This strawberry strudel puff pastry will last about 3 or 4 days.
If you want the strudel to last longer, you will want to freeze some of them. This is a great way to make sure the strawberry strudel bites do not go bad and you can have them whenever the craving hits. Wrap each bar well and place it in a freezer bag. When you are ready to eat the strudels, remove them from the freezer and let them thaw until they have come to room temperature.
