🍓 Strawberry Puff Pastry Hearts 🍓
Ingredients:
• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 cup heavy cream (whipped with 2 tbsp powdered sugar)
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
• Powdered sugar (for dusting)
• Chocolate sauce (for drizzling)
Instructions:
1 Preheat the Oven:
◦ Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a cookie tray with parchment paper.
2 Prepare the Puff Pastry:
◦ Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out as many hearts as possible.
◦ Transfer the hearts onto the prepared cookie tray and lightly brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
3 Bake the Pastry Hearts:
◦ Place the hearts in the oven and bake for 9-10 minutes, or until puffed up and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
4 Assemble the Hearts:
◦ Carefully slice each heart in half horizontally using a serrated knife.
◦ Pipe a layer of whipped cream onto the base of each heart.
◦ Add a layer of sliced strawberries over the cream, then pipe another layer of cream on top of the strawberries.
◦ Gently place the top half of the heart on the cream to form a sandwich.
5 Garnish:
◦ Lightly dust the assembled hearts with powdered sugar.
◦ Drizzle chocolate sauce over the top for a decadent finish.
6 Serve:
◦ Serve these Strawberry Puff Pastry Hearts immediately for the freshest and flakiest texture.
