This Easy Strawberry Napoleon is a light and delicious dessert that combines crisp puff pastry, whipped cream, and fresh strawberries for a perfect treat.
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, divided
- Fresh strawberries, sliced (about 1 cup or more)
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). - Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet and cut it into 3 equal pieces. Place the pastry pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. - Bake the Pastry:
Bake the puff pastry in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the pastry pieces to cool completely. - Whip the Cream:
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. This creates the light and fluffy cream filling. - Assemble the Napoleons:
Cut each baked pastry piece in half horizontally. On the bottom half of each piece, spread a layer of whipped cream and top with sliced strawberries. - Finish the Napoleon:
Place the top half of the pastry over the whipped cream and strawberries. Dust the top with the remaining powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch. - Serve:
