Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into rectangles.
- In a bowl, mix sliced strawberries with lemon juice and granulated sugar to create the compote. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and optional almond extract until smooth. Adjust sweetness with powdered sugar if desired.
- Place a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on one rectangle and add a spoonful of strawberry compote on top. Top with another pastry rectangle and seal the edges with a fork.
