Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package frozen puff pastry sheets
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions. Lightly dust a surface with flour and gently roll out the pastry sheets to even out any creases.
Cut the puff pastry into rectangles or squares, approximately 3x4 inches in size. Place the pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Prick the puff pastry pieces all over with a fork to prevent excessive puffing. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky. Let cool completely.
While the pastry cools, wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into thin pieces. Toss the sliced strawberries with granulated sugar in a bowl and set aside.
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
To assemble, take one piece of puff pastry and spread a layer of whipped cream over it. Layer a few strawberry slices on top of the cream.
Add another layer of puff pastry on top of the strawberries, followed by whipped cream and more strawberries. Top with a final piece of puff pastry.
Dust the assembled Napoleons with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
