Ingredients

• 1 sheet Reduced-fat puff pastry
• 150 grams Fresh strawberries
• 100 grams Low-fat cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 large Egg white
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll out the reduced-fat puff pastry to ensure it is evenly flat. Cut the sheet into 8 even triangles to form the base for the croissants.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Hull and thinly slice the fresh strawberries.

Step 5

Place a small dollop of the cream cheese mixture near the wide end of each triangle. Layer a few strawberry slices over the cream cheese.

Step 6

Starting from the wide end, gently roll up each triangle toward the tip to form a crescent shape. Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, with the tip-side down to prevent unrolling.

Step 7

Beat the egg white in a small bowl until frothy, then lightly brush it over the tops of the croissants for a golden finish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the croissants are puffed and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. If desired, dust with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature for a delightful low-fat treat!
