Equipment

  • 1 Cutting Knife
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • Parchment
  • Food Processor
  • 1 Small Bowl
  • 1 Spoon
  • 1 Roller

Ingredients

  • 8 large strawberries sliced
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • pistachios chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 lemon zest
  • vanilla extract
  • maple syrup
  • cottage cheese
  • powdered sugar optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350℉.
  • Start by rolling out your puffed pastry on a flat, floured surface. Create a border alongside the edges of the pastry, not cutting all the way through the dough. Poke indents all over the middle of the pastry with a fork.
  • In a small bowl, combine the egg and 1 tbsp of water using the same fork. Whisk together to make an egg wash. Brush the pastry with the egg wash and bake for 10 minutes or until the pastry is golden and fluffy.
  • While the pastry bakes, combine the cottage cheese, lemon zest, maple syrup, and vanilla in a food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  • Chop up your pistachios into fine pieces and set aside.
  • Then, thinly slice the strawberries and using a spoon, toss in a bowl with maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a squeeze of lemon to create a sweet glaze around the strawberries.
  • When the pastry is done baking, remove and let cool slightly. Grab your creamy contents from the food processor and spread over the pastry. Top with your strawberries and chopped pistachios!
  • Pop everything back in the oven for 5 minutes. Slice and serve!
  • Option to garnish with powdered sugar before serving as well!
