Walnut and Raisin Strudel

By Reva Pataki

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 15 slices

Ingredients

1/4 cup vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup apricot jam
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins
Milk

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine ice cream and butter in bowl. Add 1/2 cup flour; stir until soft dough forms. Coat hands with flour. Shape dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; freeze until dough is firm, about 15 minutes.

    Step 2

    Lightly grease baking sheet. Roll out dough on well-floured surface to 12 x 16-inch rectangle. Brush dough with jam, leaving 1/2-inch border at edges. Sprinkle with nuts and raisins. Starting at 1 long side, roll up dough, jelly roll style. Tuck ends under to enclose filling. Transfer strudel to prepared sheet. Using sharp knife, score top of dough into 1-inch sections, then brush with milk.

    Step 3

    Bake strudel until golden, about 45 minutes. Run knife under strudel to loosen from sheet. Cool completely on baking sheet. Slice along score marks.
