Easy Strawberry Cream Puffs Made With Puff Pastry

Strawberry cream puffs are such a quick and easy dessert because in this version you use store-bought puff pastry. Strawberries are good to use because you can dice them up really small and then easily fold them into the heavy whipped cream and mascarpone.

Valentine’s Day is near and this would be the perfect ending to a special dinner, it’s light and creamy and the strawberries really shine through.

Just cut your puff pastry into squares, you don’t even have to dock it because you want them to puff up.

Then all you have to do is slice them in half and you’ll have a top and a bottom created.

With your filling prepared you’re ready to spoon or pipe it right onto the puffed up pastry sheet.

Your dessert is done, all you have to do is give them a good dusting of powdered sugar and enjoy!
