Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry

  • 400g Puff pastry
  • 1 Egg (for egg wash)

Fillings

  • 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)

Toppings

  • About 2 tablespoons Icing sugar for sprinkling
  • Melted chocolate for drizzling (approximately 50g dark or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pastry Shapes: Cut hearts from the full 400g puff pastry, or if cutting rectangles, use only half and save the offcuts for another recipe. You may choose any shape you like for a personalized touch.
  2. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the cut pastry shapes with a beaten egg wash to ensure a golden, glossy finish during baking.
  3. Bake Pastry: Bake the pastry shapes in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and puff up beautifully.
  4. Slice Pastry: Once cooled slightly, carefully slice the hearts or rectangles horizontally to create a top and bottom layer for filling.
  5. Add Strawberry Jam: Spoon 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam onto the bottom half of each pastry piece, spreading gently.
  6. Pipe Whipped Cream: Whip the cream with icing sugar and mix in the white cocoa syrup. Pipe this sweetened whipped cream generously over the jam layer.
  7. Add Fresh Strawberries: Arrange freshly sliced strawberries on top of the whipped cream for natural sweetness and texture.
  8. Assemble Puffs: Place the top half of the pastry on the strawberry layer, gently pressing to sandwich the filling.
  9. Finish and Serve: Dust the assembled cream puffs with icing sugar and drizzle melted chocolate over the top for an elegant finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Using white cocoa syrup in the whipped cream adds a subtle richness and unique flavor.
  • Ensure the puff pastry is cold before baking to achieve the best puff.
  • For a vegan version, substitute puff pastry and cream with plant-based alternatives.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for optimal flavor and sweetness.
  • The melted chocolate drizzle can be customized with dark, milk, or white chocolate as preferred.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 1 day for freshness.
