Mini Strawberry Napoleons

Bakery Napoleons are good, but this make-at-home version, with puff pastry, vanilla pudding, fresh strawberries and lots of whipped cream, is so much better!

Cooking Directions

  • Heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.  Cut the pastry sheet into 3 strips along the fold marks. Cut each strip into 4 rectangles. Place the pastries onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.  Let the pastries cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 10 minutes.  Split each pastry into 2 layers, making 24 in all.
  • Prepare the pudding mix according to the package directions except use 1 cup milk.  Fold in the whipped cream.
  • Reserve 8 top pastry layers. Spread 2 tablespoons pudding mixture on each of 8 bottom pastry layers. Top each with 1 tablespoon strawberries and another pastry layer. Top with the remaining pudding mixture, strawberries and the reserved top pastry layers. Sprinkle with the confectioners’ sugar.
