How to Make Crescent Napoleons With Strawberries

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll one can (8 oz) of refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate into 8 rectangles.
Gently press the perforations to seal each rectangle.
Cut each rectangle into quarters, creating 32 small squares.
Press each square into a 3x2 inch rectangle using a rolling pin or your fingers.
Sprinkle each rectangle lightly with granulated sugar.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Remove from baking sheet and let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes.
While the crescent roll rectangles are baking and cooling, prepare the pudding filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of milk and 1 package (3.4 oz) of instant vanilla pudding mix until thickened.
Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping.
Once the crescent roll rectangles are cool, assemble the Napoleons: Place one rectangle on each serving plate.
Reserve 1/2 cup of the pudding mixture for topping.
Spread the remaining pudding mixture evenly over the crescent roll rectangles.
Hull and slice approximately 1 cup of fresh strawberries. Reserve 8 slices for garnish.
Arrange the sliced strawberries over the pudding layer.
Top with another crescent roll rectangle.
Garnish each Napoleon with 1 tablespoon of reserved pudding mixture and 1 strawberry slice.
