Description
A delicious dessert combining light and flaky pastry with rich whipped cream and chocolate ganache, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.1 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 2 cups cold heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate ganache (store bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Unfold the thawed puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface and cut it into equal-sized rectangles or squares.
- Place the cut pastry on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Prick the pastry all over with a fork.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up. Let the pastry cool completely.
- While the pastry is cooling, make the whipped cream. In a large chilled bowl, combine the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Once the pastry is cool, gently split each piece horizontally into two layers.
- Take the bottom layer of a pastry and place it on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of whipped cream on top and drizzle with chocolate ganache.
- Place the top layer of pastry over the cream and repeat the process with the remaining pastry layers, whipped cream, and ganache.
- Before serving, dust the top of the assembled pastries with powdered sugar.
Notes
Make sure your heavy cream is cold for better whipping results. Use a sharp knife to split the pastry layers for a clean cut. Feel free to add fruit or other toppings between layers for extra flavor.
