French Napoleons image

These are to die for!!! They are so easy, yet look so elegant!!! I usually use a heart-shaped cookie cutter, but have also done squares, diamonds, etc. This is a must make for Valentine's Day at my house! But would be wonderful for any holiday or romantic dinner.

Time 30m

Yield 18 napoleons

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 cup cold milk
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix (or use chocolate)
1 cup Cool Whip
1 1/4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
powdered sugar

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out each pastry sheet to 1/8-inch thickness.
  • Using a shaped cookie cutter of your choice (I prefer hearts), cut out 9 Napoleons per sheet.
  • Place on ungreased baking sheets.
  • (If your dough has become too warm, place in refrigerator to chill. The pastry will not "puff" well if warm.).
  • Bake at 400ยบ for 8-11 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove to wire racks to cool.
  • In a bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Fold in Cool Whip.
  • Split puff pastry shapes in half.
  • Place bottom halves on serving plates.
  • Spoon filling over each; top with strawberries. I make the points of the slices stick out over the edges.
  • Top with pastry tops. (Add just a dab of filling on top of strawberries so the pastry top will stick.).
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • Serve immediately.
