Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 Sheet of puff pastry
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Warm water
  • 1 cup Strawberries quartered
  • 1 tablespoon White granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoon Powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • Chocolate sauce for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Roll out the puff pastry and divide in half lengthwise and then in thirds (essentially you should have 6 square pieces of puff pastry). In a small bowl, mix one tablespoon warm water with 1 teaspoon honey. Mix well and brush on to tops of puff pastry. Bake puff pastry for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • While puff pastry is baking, clean and cut strawberries. Place strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle white sugar over top; mix well and let rest to marinate.
  • Using a KitchenAid stand mixer (or hand mixer or you can really get a work out and do this by hand) place one cup of heavy cream in the mixer and begin slowly mixing for 1 minute. It should begin to thicken. Add powder sugar and vanilla extract and let them incorporate then put the mixer up to high speed and let the cream thicken to a thick homemade whipped cream. This should take 1-2 minutes.
  • Pull the puff pastry squares out of the oven, and place one on a plate. Place a dollop of cream on top of the puff pastry along with a spoonful of strawberries. Top with another square of puff pastry, a spoonful of strawberries and another dollop of cream. Garnish with chocolate sauce, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Thaw Puff Pastry - All puff pastry comes frozen. You will need to plan ahead to thaw the puff pastry for at least an hour prior to making. I like to pull the puff pastry out of the freezer half way into cooking dinner.
  • Whipped Cream - If you don't feel like making fresh whipped cream you can replace it with store-bought; although I promise making the fresh whipped cream is worth the extra few minutes.
