Description
A delightful dessert of flaky puff pastry layered 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 pastry pieces 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 it cool completely.
- While the pastry is cooling, prepare the whipped cream. In a large chilled bowl, combine cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Beat the mixture with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Once the pastry is cool, gently split each piece horizontally into two layers.
- Place the bottom layer of a pastry on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of whipped cream on top, drizzle with chocolate ganache, and add the top layer of pastry over the cream.
- Repeat this process with the remaining pastry layers, whipped cream, and ganache.
- Dust the top of the assembled pastries with powdered sugar before serving.
