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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly and cut each sheet into 6 equal rectangles.

Step 3

Place the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for expansion.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

Step 8

Once the puff pastry is cool, use a serrated knife to carefully slice each rectangle in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom layer.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Dust the finished strawberry puffs with powdered sugar for a decorative touch, and serve immediately.
