Cherry Cheesecake Strudel

A great vegan dessert with gluten-free instructions provided as well!

Servings 6 slices

Ingredients

  • 1 refrigerated puff pastry dough WeWalka is great for regular. Use Schar for gluten-free!
  • 1 can cherry pie filling I used Lucky Leaf Organic
  • 4 oz cream cheese Use Kite Hill for dairy-free
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 c ghee or vegan butter substitute melted (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment or a silpat baking sheet.

  3. Lay one puff pastry dough sheet on cookie sheet. 

  4. In a small mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract together.

  5. Spread cream cheese mixture down the center of the puff pastry.

  6. Top cream cheese mixture with cherry pie filling.

  7. Score both sides of pastry dough into narrow strips. Cross the dough strips across the filling, like a braid. 

  8. Baste top of dough with ghee or vegan butter. This will give the strudel a nice caramelized finish. 

  9. Back in oven for 20 minutes or until dough is nicely browned. Remove from oven and cool.
