Strawberry Cheesecake Pop Tarts
Strawberry Cheesecake Pop Tarts
"Me: "Like a Strawberry Cheesecake Wellington" Will: "Like a Pop Tart?". That sounds much better than a Strawberry Cheesecake Wellington! I promptly set all my ingredients our on the bench, when he waltzes in. Will: "Puff Pastry?" "Wouldn't it be better with shortcrust?". Me: "I don't know" Will: "Have you ever eaten a Pop Tart?" Me: "No...." And so, having had more experience eating Pop Tarts than myself, my husband promptly set himself up with his laptop at the kitchen bench to oversee my bake. He also made the executive decision to not egg wash the pastry as well, which I was sceptical about, but I think it was a winning call! #teamwork"
