Steps

1

In small saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons sugar and cornstarch. In blender container or food processor bowl with metal blade, combine 1/2 cup of the strawberries and the water; puree until smooth. If desired, strain to remove seeds.

Roll up, starting at shortest side of triangle and rolling to opposite point. Place point side down on greased baking sheet. Brush each roll with egg white. Sprinkle evenly with 2 teaspoons sugar.

Bake at 325°F. for 20 to 25 minutes or until crescents are golden brown. Remove from baking sheet; cool 15 minutes. Split rolls horizontally; place on individual dessert plates. Fill and top each with strawberry mixture and whipped topping.
