Cherry Vanilla Bean Turnovers are packed with cherry-liciousness plus they have a little secret too! YUMmmmm.
Cherry Vanilla Bean Turnovers are an amazing cherry explosion- all wrapped up in lovely, flaky pastry shell. AND the surprise inside? Well, I hate to ruin surprises, but there just happens to be a dollop of cream cheese in center of each turnover too. They’ll completely leave you speechless.
I know, they sound just as amazing as they are 🙂
It’s that beautiful combination of textures and flavors that’ll leave you and your family begging for more!
February is National Cherry Month? Neither did I until Wayfair reached out to me with their Cherry Sweet campaign and I was like- hey! I love cherries and I know y’all will love my cherry inspired creation so I jumped at the chance to be apart. I’m excited to be apart of their Cherry Sweet event.
I love that I can find all my household needs in one easy to order place… Wayfair has everything you could ever want for your home. I love that they deliver right to my door. All my orders have been delivered in beautiful condition with every care taken in the packing. I give them 5 stars all around!
