Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry Jus-Rol size
- 1 can ready-to-serve whipped cream about 6–7 oz can
- 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries sliced
- Powdered sugar for dusting optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the puff pastry and using a biscuit cutter cut 12 circles measuring 3 inches wide. Make sure to only press down with the biscuit cutter (don't turn) to cut the circles.
- Place cirlces on the baking sheet, lined with parchment, leaving space between them. Bake 15–16 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, then slice each pastry in half horizontally while still warm.
- Return the halves to the oven, cut side up, and bake 1 - 2 more minutes. This dries the interior and prevents soggy cream puffs.
- Cool completely on a wire rack. These may look underwhelming. Keep in mind they are the edible containers for whipped cream and strawberries - Mmmmm.
- Right before serving, spray whipped cream onto the bottom half of each pastry shell.
- Add sliced strawberries over the whipped cream.
- Place the top pastry layer over the filling and dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired.
- Serve immediately. Have napkins available. It gets a little messy!
