Notes
- This easy cherry strudel recipe can be designed in many unique ways! Add slits on the top before baking or add slits to the top piece of dough and make a criss cross design when covering the bottom half.
- A strudel tastes best freshly baked although you could assemble and store in the fridge for a few hours before baking.
- Cool completely to room temperature then store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- Unfortunately not. The pastry cream in this strudel does not freeze well and will change texture upon thawing. If you use cream cheese or ricotta, you can freeze it whole or in slices.
