Strawberry Napoleons

step 1 Preheat the oven to 425°F. Roll out Sweet Loren’s Puff Pastry Dough.

step 2  Cut the dough in half lengthwise. Then cut each strip of dough into 6 evenly sized rectangles. Dock the pieces of puff pastry all over with a fork then place them onto a baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart. 

step 3 Brush the tops with egg wash then bake them in the oven for 15-17 minutes until golden brown. Set them aside to cool.

step 4  While the puff pastry bakes, make the cream cheese filling. Add cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract into a bowl. Beat the mixture together with a hand mixer until creamy and fluffy. Set aside.

step 5 When the puff pastry has cooled, transfer the cream cheese filling into a piping bag or plastic bag, and cut off the tip. Pipe a layer of the cream cheese filling onto half of the puff pastry rectangles.

step 6 Spread a layer of the strawberry preserves on top of the cream cheese. Then add on a layer of the sliced strawberries. Top the napoleons with the remaining puff pastry rectangles then dust powdered sugar on top. Enjoy!
