Welcome to the June edition of the Behind The Curtain Dessert Challenge hosted by Lady Behind The Curtain where every month we are given two ingredients to shine a spotlight on. This month we are using strawberries and raspberries which are two of my favorite flavors. Here is my very own recipe for Double Berry Turnovers.
1 pkg. (2 sheets) puff pastry, thawed
3 cups sliced strawberries
4 tbsp. granulated sugar, divided
flour for dusting
4 tbsp. raspberry fruit spread, divided
1 egg
water
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line two baking sheets with foil then spray the foil with non-stick spray. Slice the strawberries and stir in 3 tbsp. of sugar. Set aside while you prepare your dough.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry dough 1 sheet at a time. Use a pizza cutter to trim the edges and cut into 4 squares.
Prepare the egg wash by whisking the egg with a tablespoon of water and set aside. In the center of each dough square, place 1/2 tbsp. of the raspberry spread and a scant 1/4 cup of strawberry slices. Drain as much of the juice from the strawberries as possible. Coat 2 edges of the square with the egg wash. Fold the dough to form a triangle and crimp the edges with a fork. Poke two holes in the top of the turnover with the fork to let steam escape. Brush the entire pastry with a little of the egg wash and sprinkle granulated sugar on top.
Bake for 20 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. When cooled, prepare the frosting by combining the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. Pour this into a small zip top bag and cut a small hole in one corner of the bag. Drizzle the icing onto the cooled turnovers and then eat up!

oh so easy and I bet it is delish! I love puffed pastry!
Puff pastry sheets make something like this so much easier and the buttery flavor is great. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting!
Yummm. Bet a bite into that crisp puff pastry combined with the smooth fruit spread and sliced strawberries is bliss =) Your photos and recipe are very tantalizing =)
Thank you! They were even good reheated the next day. Thanks again for stopping by and commenting.
My mom used to buy Pepperidge Farm turnovers for us when we were kids…and we LOVED them. I need to make your homemade version…I have a feeling they are WAY better! They look scrumptious!
Thanks so much for stopping by and for your sweet comment! We really enjoyed them
What amazing turnovers! I’m amazed by your patience in choosing to make a pastry for the challenge. They look absolutely perfect!

Thanks so much for visiting and for your sweet comment! I love to work with puff pastry because it is such a great time saver in recipes like this. I would probably never get a pastry recipe done if I had to make my own.
My mouth is watering just thinking about how good they must taste! Happy to have found you via the Dessert Challenge 🙂

Wow! This looks delicious – I pinned it because I just know I’m going to find some great strawberries at the farmer’s market this weekend and I will be making them!
Thanks! I hope you enjoy them and good luck at the farmer’s market!
Tasty! I’m making some guava pastries soon and kind of worried about using puff pastry in my currently un-air conditioned home!
If you thaw your pastry in the fridge and keep it cool, you should be fine. Thanks for stopping by and commenting

so pretty and easy to make. i love such recipes.
