Ingredients

2 sheets puff pastry thawed
1 cup heavy cream cold
0.5 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp butter melted, for brushing
2 tbsp strawberry jam or any fruit jam
2 tbsp powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly if needed. Place on the prepared baking sheet and brush with melted butter.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden and puffed. Let cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, whisk heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Spread a layer of jam over one pastry sheet, then spread the whipped cream over it. Place the second pastry sheet on top.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to set.
Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve.
