  4. Fill each turnover with a layer of cream cheese mixture and diced strawberries. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Serve warm, possibly with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven to restore fluffiness.
