- In a small bowl mix together powdered/icing sugar, vanilla and milk or cream (a little at a time) as you need to reach your desired thickness.
Notes
- You can use either fresh or frozen strawberries or blueberries. Be sure to thaw the strawberries and towel dry before using. The blueberries can be used frozen.
- If you happen to have left overs, the best way to store the strudel is in the refrigerator. You can bring it to room temperature before serving. Any leftovers will last 2-3 days in the fridge.
- Unbaked Strudel can also be frozen, wrap well and place in a freezer bag. Be sure to bake the strudel unthawed. It may take a few more minutes to bake.
