Strawberry Cream Puffs combine the light, flaky texture of puff pastry with sweet whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and a drizzle of melted chocolate. These bite-sized treats are perfect for any occasion, offering a delicious balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

400g Puff pastry

100g Fresh Strawberries

100ml Whipping cream (sweetened with icing sugar)

8 teaspoons Strawberry jam

1 tablespoon White cocoa syrup

About 2 tablespoons Icing sugar for sprinkling

Melted chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into round shapes (2-3 inches in diameter) using a cookie cutter or a glass.
  3. Place the pastry rounds on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch each other. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
  4. While the pastry is baking, whip the cream with a few tablespoons of icing sugar until soft peaks form. Set aside.
  5. Once the puff pastry has cooled, carefully slice each pastry round in half horizontally.
  6. Spread a teaspoon of strawberry jam on the bottom half of each pastry.
  7. Spoon or pipe the whipped cream over the jam layer.
  8. Slice the fresh strawberries into thin rounds and place them on top of the whipped cream.
  9. Place the top half of the puff pastry on top of the strawberries.
  10. Drizzle the white cocoa syrup over the top, then dust with icing sugar.
  11. For the final touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the cream puffs.

Notes

Frozen puff pastry works perfectly; just make sure to thaw it according to the package instructions.

Whipped cream can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a quick stir before using.

You can substitute strawberries with raspberries, blueberries, or peaches for variety.

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free puff pastry.

Feel free to skip the chocolate drizzle if you prefer a lighter dessert.

If you prefer, you can use other types of jam, such as raspberry or apricot.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, they are best enjoyed fresh to retain the crispness of the puff pastry.

If you want to make them ahead, freeze the baked puff pastry rounds and assemble with cream and fruit later.

For a richer treat, you can add custard or mascarpone cheese between the whipped cream and fruit layers.
