My failed attempt to make a triple-layer strawberry malt mouse resulted in this scrumptious dessert. I don't use puff pastry often, but it was simple to work with. My husband declared it one of the best desserts ever.

Strawberry Puff Pastry Dessert Recipe
  • Prep: 30 min. Bake: 15 min. + cooling
  • Yield: 12 Servings
30 15 45

Ingredients

  • 1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry
  • 5 cups sliced fresh strawberries, divided
  • 6 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/3 cup malted milk powder
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped
  • Strawberry syrup, optional

Directions

  • Thaw one puff pastry sheet (save remaining sheet for another use). Unfold pastry; cut lengthwise into three 3-in.-wide strips. Cut each strip into thirds, making nine squares.
  • Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
  • Place 2-1/2 cups strawberries in a blender; cover and puree; set aside. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. Add cream cheese and vanilla; beat until smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar and malted milk powder until smooth. Stir in the puree. Fold in whipped cream.
  • Split pastry squares in half horizontally. Line an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. dish with bottom pastry halves, cut side up; spread with 3-1/2 cups strawberry cream. Top with 1 cup of sliced berries. Cover with pastry tops, cut side down.
  • Spread with remaining strawberry cream. Sprinkle with remaining berries. Drizzle with strawberry syrup if desired. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 12 servings.

I have made this many times. It was a favorite of our exchange stude.nt when she lived with us. I do add more pastry and like it better this way

The flavor of the prepared filling is delicious---very rich! I do agree with Kchandler3125 that I'd prefer more pastry in this recipe. I thought I measured the strawberries for the puree fairly accurately, but I found that the filling turned out a bit too soft. I think that when I make this again, I'll make about half of the filling recipe and place some filling only between the split halves of the pastry, and serve it on the idea of a Napoleon dessert.

This is wonderful, although I think I would use extra pastry next time. My son absolutely loved it.
