Easy-to-make strawberry napoleons make and elegant dessert

These strawberry napoleons are a dessert worthy of guests, but they are so easy to make, you’ll make them often.

Easy Peasy Dessert

These strawberry napoleons only look complicated, but they are easy as pie to make!

All you need for these you probably have in your cupboard and freezer.

Many Sales On Strawberries

Usually good prices on strawberries are at the beginning of the summer. However, there must’ve been a bumper crop of them this year because most stores are still featuring them for less than $2 a pound.

Because the prices have been and still are phenomenally low, I’ve been stocking my freezer with strawberries. They freeze very well whole so it’s an easy task–just wash them, dry them and pop them in a freezer bag.

While this dessert looks best when the strawberries are fresh, it will taste just as good with defrosted berries.

Puff Pastry Sheets

These are an amazing convenience ingredient. There’s so many things you can make with them.

I once had a crack at making puff pastry from scratch, and it’s quite a tedious process. Plus it tastes no better than the ones you buy in the grocery store.

Now, about splitting them apart. I’ve seen many recipes that call for you to split the baked sheets in thirds. Sometimes that’s easy to do and sometimes it’s not so easy. So I get around that by splitting them in half. It may not be as gorgeous as the three layers, but it works. Plus I’m lazy and it’s infinitely easier.

And believe me, once family or guests begin to chow down on these napoleons, they won’t notice that there aren’t a couple of layers of cream and strawberries.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed according to package directions
  • 1 quart fresh strawberries sliced
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cold whole milk

  • 2 cups whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
