Raspberry Cream Napoleons

Delightful layers of flaky pastry, creamy filling, and vibrant raspberry sauce make this dessert a showstopper.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package of high-quality frozen puff pastry
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam or fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the thawed puff pastry and cut into rectangles (3 inches by 1 inch), placing them on the baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and puffed up.
  3. While the pastry cools, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, then gradually add powdered sugar.
  4. For the raspberry sauce, heat raspberry jam with a splash of water in a saucepan until bubbly, then let cool.
  5. Assemble by layering baked puff pastry, cream filling, and raspberry sauce. Repeat for two or three layers, finishing with another pastry layer.
  6. Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!
