Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry

  • 400g puff pastry
  • Egg wash (1 egg beaten, for brushing)

Filling

  • 8 teaspoons strawberry jam
  • 100ml whipping cream, sweetened with 2 tablespoons icing sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white cocoa syrup
  • 100g fresh strawberries, sliced

Topping

  • About 2 tablespoons icing sugar for sprinkling
  • Melted chocolate for drizzling (approx. 30g)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into desired shapes—either hearts using the full 400g or rectangles using half the pastry. Reserve any leftover pastry for another use.
  2. Apply Egg Wash: Lightly brush the tops of the pastry shapes with beaten egg to achieve a golden finish during baking.
  3. Bake: Place the pastry shapes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  4. Slice Pastry: Once cooled, carefully slice each heart or rectangle horizontally to create a top and bottom layer.
  5. Spread Strawberry Jam: Spoon 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam onto the bottom half of each pastry piece, spreading evenly.
  6. Prepare Whipped Cream Filling: Whip the cold whipping cream together with 2 tablespoons icing sugar until soft peaks form, then gently fold in 1 tablespoon white cocoa syrup for flavor.
  7. Assemble Filling: Pipe or spoon the sweetened whipped cream over the jam layer on each bottom pastry piece.
  8. Add Fresh Strawberries: Top the whipped cream with freshly sliced strawberries for freshness and texture.
  9. Close and Garnish: Place the top layer of pastry over the strawberries, dust lightly with icing sugar, and drizzle melted chocolate attractively over the top.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately or chill briefly for best flavor. Enjoy your elegant homemade strawberry cream puffs!

Notes

  • Use chilled whipping cream for easier whipping and better texture.
  • The white cocoa syrup adds a unique flavor twist but can be substituted with vanilla extract if unavailable.
  • Puff pastry can be store-bought for convenience or homemade for a richer flavor.
  • For best results, bake pastry until fully puffed and golden to ensure crispiness.
  • These cream puffs are best enjoyed the same day they are made to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
