How to Make
01. Roll Out the Puff Pastry
Thaw the puff pastry completely, then roll it out slightly. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter (about 4 inches) to cut 6 pieces. For a glossy, golden finish, brush each with egg wash before baking.
02. Prepare the Whipped Cream
In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Keep chilled until ready to use.
03. Assemble
Once the puff pastry hearts are baked and cooled, slice each in half horizontally. Flip the bottom half, pipe whipped cream generously, and top with sliced strawberries. Place the second half on top. For an elegant touch, dust with powdered sugar mixed with crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
