Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into four rectangular sections. Pinch the perforations to seal them fully.
Slice each rectangular section in half to create eight smaller rectangles. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture lightly over the tops of the dough rectangles.
Bake the dough rectangles in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
While the pastry cools, prepare the filling. Using a hand mixer or whisk, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Beat until stiff peaks form.
Hull and slice the strawberries into thin pieces and set them aside.
Once the crescent pastry rectangles have cooled, carefully slice each one in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer.
To assemble, spread a layer of the whipped cream filling onto the bottom half of each pastry rectangle. Top with a few slices of strawberries, then cover with the top half of the pastry.
Dust the assembled Napoleons with powdered sugar for a finishing touch before serving.
