How to Make Strawberry Napoleon
- Thaw 1 package (14.1 oz) frozen puff pastry at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly flour a clean surface. Unfold the thawed puff pastry and cut it into 3 equal strips along the fold lines.
- Cut each strip into 4 equal rectangles. You should have 12 rectangles in total.
- Place the rectangles on a baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the pastry cools, prepare the vanilla pudding according to package directions using 2 cups of cold milk.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped cream into the set vanilla pudding.
- Carefully break each cooled pastry rectangle into 2 layers (top and bottom). You will now have 24 layers.
- Set aside 8 top pastry layers for garnish.
- Arrange 8 bottom pastry layers on a serving plate or platter.
- Spoon the vanilla pudding mixture evenly over the 8 bottom layers.
- Top with sliced strawberries (about 1 cup).
- Repeat layers with the remaining 8 bottom pastry layers, vanilla pudding, and strawberries.
- Top the entire Napoleon with the reserved 8 pastry tops.
- Garnish with a few fresh strawberry slices and dust with powdered sugar.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 hours. Enjoy!
