Easy Valentine’s Day Strawberry Cream Cheese Pastries (Gluten-Free)
a quick homemade treat that seems like something straight out of a bakery
I could not be more exited about this recipe as my first subscriber post. I’m so thankful to you all for joining me! When I started Efficient Kitchen a few years ago, I truly NEVER thought I would actually write recipes. I truly thought that I would only be sharing my methodology. Thank you to every one who has cheered me on over these years!
This Valentine’s recipe is great for something that feels special without a huge amount of fuss thanks to the store bought puff pastry. If you’re gluten free, special holiday baked goods can make you feel like you’re on the outside. Food is an integral part of holidays so me so I always want to have something special to serve.
These strawberry cream cheese pastries come together in under 30 minutes, including bake time, thanks to store-bought gluten-free puff pastry. They’re lightly sweet, flaky, and customizable depending on how festive you’re feeling—dust them with powdered sugar, drizzle with chocolate, or keep them simple and classic.
Whether you’re making breakfast for your kids, your partner, or just yourself (highly encouraged), this is an easy way to make Valentine’s morning feel intentional without adding stress to your day.
Make ahead tip: prep your strawberries and cream cheese filling the night before and put your puff pastry in the fridge to thaw. Doing these steps ahead ofttimes, will make this come together even faster!
