Ingredients

• 1 package Frozen puff pastry sheets
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Stevia or other sugar-free sweetener
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract

Directions

Step 1

Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions, usually about 20-30 minutes at room temperature.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a small bowl, beat the egg with water to create an egg wash.

Step 4

Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets and cut them into equal-sized rectangles, approximately 12 pieces total.

Step 5

Place the cut-out pastry pieces onto the prepared baking sheet leaving some space between them.

Step 6

Brush each pastry piece lightly with the egg wash to help achieve a golden color when baked.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

While the pastries cool, prepare the cream filling. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, vanilla extract, almond extract, and sweetener.

Step 9

Whip the mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.

Step 10

Once the puff pastries are cool, slice through the middle of each pastry to create a top and bottom half.

Step 11

Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill the bottom half of each pastry with the whipped cream mixture.

Step 12

Place the top halves back onto each filled pastry to create a cream-filled sandwich.

Step 13

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy your sugar-free treat!
