Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly and cut each sheet into 6 equal rectangles.
Place the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for expansion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash. Lightly brush the tops of the puff pastry rectangles with the egg wash.
Bake the puff pastry in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
While the pastry cools, prepare the strawberries by washing and hulling them. Slice the strawberries and toss them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Once the puff pastry is cool, use a serrated knife to carefully slice each rectangle in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom layer.
Spread or pipe a layer of whipped cream onto the bottom half of each pastry. Top with a generous spoonful of the macerated strawberries, then place the top half of the pastry on top.
Dust the finished strawberry puffs with powdered sugar for a decorative touch, and serve immediately.
