Easy Strawberry Napoleon is a slight twist on a classic dessert that combines the flakiness of puff pastry with the tanginess of cream cheese and the sweetness of fresh strawberries. Puff pastry rectangles are stacked with cream cheese and strawberry layers, creating a layered look. Finally, confectioners’ sugar is sprinkled on top for an elegant and impressive dessert perfect for any occasion. Try my Cherry Cream Cheese Danish for another easy-to-make dessert.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Puff Pastry: You will need two sheets of store-bought puff pastries, thawed according to package instructions. I also have a great recipe for a homemade Puff Pastry. Just leave out the cinnamon when making it for this recipe.
Egg Wash: I used a traditional milk and egg mixture for the egg wash. This will give the pastries a rich, golden-brown color. You could also use water if you don’t have any milk.
Cream Cheese: I used cream cheese as opposed to pastry cream or custard for the filling. So, it’s like a strawberry cheesecake napoleon. For easy mixing, make sure the cream cheese has been softened at room temperature.
