How to Make Best Ever Strawberry Napoleons

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the puff pastry: Gently unfold the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. If using frozen, thaw completely. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each sheet into three equal rectangles.
  3. Bake the pastry: Arrange the pastry rectangles on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. Make the strawberry filling: While pastry bakes, combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook until the strawberries soften and the sauce has thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  5. Assemble the Napoleons: Spread a generous layer of the cooled strawberry filling onto one pastry rectangle. Top with another rectangle, then another layer of filling and a final pastry rectangle. Gently press down.
  6. Dust with powdered sugar: Dust the top of the Napoleons with powdered sugar and serve immediately or chill for later.
