Pre-heat the oven to 425°Ï.
Remove the puff pastry from its packaging and unfold it onto a clean parchment paper, then place that onto a rimmed baking sheet.
Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the puff pastry in half, then rotate it and cut in half again so you have four large rectangles.
Space out each rectangle, then on one half of the puff pastry cut out a little circle or heart and place that little piece of puff pastry to the side.
Place 3 tablespoons of the cherry filling onto the half of the rectangle without the hear/circle cut out. Make sure to leave a 1/4 inch border to prevent the filling from leaking out.
Fold over the puff pastry to cover the cherry filling.
Gently press the edges together with a fork all the way around sealing the turnover. It's ok if a bit of the filling spills out.
Brush an egg wash or milk over the top of the puff pastry then add the little circle or heart to the top of the turnover and gently brush it with a bit of milk/egg wash.
Sprinkle with the sugar.
Bake on the center oven rack for 11 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and lightly browned.
Place on a cooling rack to cool completely.
Make the Glaze
- In a small bowl combine milk and powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Drizzle it over the cooled puff pastry.
