Ingredients
- 1 sheet of pastry dough
- 1/3 cup raspberry jam

- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 tablespoon milk, more if needed
- 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to Make Delightfully Easy Raspberry Strudel
Step 1: Step 1: Preheat and Prepare – First things first, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This will ensure our turnovers bake evenly and don’t stick to the pan.
Step 2: Prepare the Pastry – Start by rolling out your pastry sheet and cutting it into 6 equal rectangles. This will be the base for your scrumptious Raspberry Strudel.
Step 3: Create the Raspberry Filling – In a small bowl, combine the raspberry jam with cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully incorporated. This will help thicken the filling and prevent it from becoming too runny.
Step 4: Fill and Seal – Spoon the raspberry jam mixture onto the bottom half of each pastry rectangle, leaving some space around the edges. Wet your finger and run it along the edges of each rectangle to help seal the pastry. Gently fold over the pastry dough to cover the filling, pressing the edges together to seal in the deliciousness.
Step 5: Ventilate and Bake – Transfer your sealed strudels onto a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet. Ensure that the edges are properly pressed and sealed. To prevent the strudels from bursting open while baking, make a small slit in the top of each one. Pop them into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
Step 6: Prepare the Icing – While the strudels are baking, whip up a simple icing by mixing powdered sugar, melted butter, milk, almond extract, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Add milk gradually until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. Transfer the icing into a sandwich baggie, snip off a small corner, and set aside.
Step 7: Drizzle and Serve – Once the strudels are cooked and have cooled slightly, but are still warm, drizzle them generously with the prepared icing. This will add a delightful sweetness and extra flavor to each bite. Serve your Raspberry Strudels warm and enjoy every delicious mouthful!
