• Beat the egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl with a fork.
• Unfold 1 pastry sheet on a lightly floured flat surface. Roll the pastry into a 14-by-12-inch rectangle. Spoon half of the cream cheese mixture lengthwise down the center of the pastry. Cut slits 1 inch apart from the 2 sides of the pastry rectangle within 1/2 inch of the cream cheese mixture. Arrange half of the strawberries down the center of the pastry on top of the cream cheese mixture. Starting at one end, fold the pastry strips over the strawberries on a diagonal, alternating sides, to cover the strawberries.

AMY'S STRAWBERRY JAM PUFFS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 200c (or whatever the pastry packet recommends).
• Cut the puff pastry into 8 equal-sized pieces (keep them rectangular).
• put a teaspoonful or so of jam in the middle of each pastry rectange.
• fold up two opposite corners of the pastry and join in the middle (like a danish). You'll also need to curl up the other two corners of the pastry because otherwise when the pastry puffs up the jam will get pushed off onto the baking tray.
• Place on a baking tray (I like to grease with some 1-cal cooking spray) and brush the top of each pastry with milk/egg.
• Bake for approximately 10-15 mins or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
• Cool for a few minutes before serving (because the jam gets HOT).

STRAWBERRIES & CREAM LAYER

Heat the grill to high, dust the pastry liberally with icing sugar and carefully caramelise under the grill. Dust with another layer of icing sugar and return to the grill to caramelise again. While warm, cut the pastry biscuits into 12 neat rectangles, trimming the edges as you go. These can now be kept in an airtight container for a day.
• Halve or quarter the strawberries, depending on their size, then dust with a little icing sugar and set aside. Split the vanilla pod and scrape the seeds into the cream, then whip lightly with the caster sugar until it just holds its shape.
• To assemble, place a blob of cream on each plate and, at jaunty angles, stack the biscuits, cream and strawberries.
