Instructions

To start, simply remove thawed (but still cold) puff pastry sheets from the packaging and stacking them onto one another, using a biscuit cutter (small to medium-sized), gently cut out the center of each square, leaving the bottom sheet untouched. **NOTE: This ensures that the puff pastry bakes with a "whole in the center", but has a base remaining so that filling can be stuffed inside.
Once all sheets are cut, place stacked squares side by side (should be about 4 pastries) onto a lined baking sheet. Brush each layer of the stacked pastries lightly with egg wash and bake for 10 minutes in a pre-heated oven on 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once pastries have risen and are golden brown, remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.
When cooled, fill with a tablespoon of blueberry compote, then whipped cream and top with freshly sliced strawberries. When all pastries are filled, lightly sprinkle them with powdered sugar.
Bon Appetite!

Notes

For Blueberry Compote: Combine 1 ½ cups blueberries, ½ cup pure cane sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2-3 Tbsps water, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower heat to simmer until the strawberries are soft. Now mix ½ Tbsp corn starch in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon warm water until well combined and lump-free. Add mixture to saucepan with blueberries and stir until syrup thickens and reduced slightly, approximately 8-10 minutes, Continue to stir occasionally. Once done, remove from heat and let cool.

To make Homemade Whipped Cream, you'll need: 2 cups heavy whipping cream (very cold) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Simply, beat both ingredients on medium-high speed of an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Stored in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
