Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 400g Puff pastry
- Egg wash (for brushing)
Filling
- 100g Fresh strawberries, sliced
- 100ml Whipping cream, sweetened with a few tablespoons of icing sugar
- 8 teaspoons Strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon White cocoa syrup (@saveur_cestdelicieux)
Topping
- About 2 tablespoons Icing sugar for sprinkling
- Melted chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
- Cut the pastry shape: Cut hearts out from the puff pastry using the entire 400g of pastry. Alternatively, cut rectangles and use only half of the pastry; save off cuts to use later as pie bases or other baking projects.
- Brush with egg wash: Lightly brush the top of each cut pastry shape with egg wash to ensure a golden brown finish after baking.
- Bake: Bake the pastry pieces in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for approximately 15-20 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown.
- Slice open: Once baked and cooled enough to handle, carefully slice each heart or rectangle horizontally to create two halves.
- Spread jam: Spoon about one teaspoon of strawberry jam onto the bottom half of each pastry piece evenly.
- Prepare cream filling: Whip the sweetened whipping cream together with the white cocoa syrup until soft peaks form, then pipe this creamy mixture generously over the jam layer.
- Add strawberries: Arrange freshly sliced strawberries evenly on top of the cream layer for a fresh fruity touch.
- Assemble the cream puffs: Place the top half of the pastry piece gently over the filling to close the cream puff.
- Finish and serve: Dust the assembled cream puffs with about 2 tablespoons of icing sugar and drizzle melted chocolate artistically over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- You can shape the puff pastry as hearts or rectangles depending on preference.
- Use the offcuts of puff pastry creatively as bases for pies or tarts.
- Adjust sweetness in the cream by varying the amount of icing sugar.
- For best puff, ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking.
- The white cocoa syrup adds a subtle chocolatey flavor that complements the cream and strawberries.
