Strawberry Turnovers

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 5 or 6 minutes

1/2 cup (125 ml) icing sugar

1 Tbsp. (15 ml) milk

2/3 cup (150 ml) thick strawberry jam or spread*

6 Tbsp. (90 ml) softened cream cheese

2 large egg yolks

6 tortillas, 8-in. (20 cm) in diameter

Soft butter

Place the icing sugar in a bowl. Slowly mix in the milk with a whisk until the texture is firm but still malleable. Transfer the icing into a small sealable sandwich bag. Seal the bag and put it aside.

Put the strawberry jam, the cream cheese and the egg yolks in a food processor. Mix until a uniform consistency is obtained. Can be refrigerated up to 24 hours.

Lightly butter one side of the tortillas. On the other side, spread 3 Tbsp. (45 ml) of the jam mixture on each one, leaving a space of about 1 in. (2.5 cm) along the rim.

Fold the tortillas in half and place them gently on a preheated grill at low heat. Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are cooked and slightly crunchy.

Remove the tortillas from the grill. Cut one of the tips on the sandwich bag to make a small opening and use the icing to draw decorative designs on the tortillas.

Serve warm.

*Avoid light jams with sugar substitutes
