These turnovers were inspired by Lara Jean’s baking scene in To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You, the second movie in the trilogy. Baking is featured in every movie but the turnovers are my favorite pensive bake. LJ used canned cherry pie filling but I opted for frozen sweet cherries so I can control the amount of sugar. I added cream cheese, a tangy creamy balance to the bright flavor of the fruit. Feel free to substitute for other frozen fruit of your choice. If using strawberries, I’d add another teaspoon of cornstarch, since they’re really juicy.
