Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by preheating my oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This little step ensures that my turnovers bake evenly without sticking. While the oven is heating up, I take a mixing bowl and combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a whisk until it’s nice and smooth. The smell of vanilla is so comforting, and I can’t help but sneak a taste! At this point, I stir in my fresh diced strawberries to create that delightful filling.
