Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the 1 puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut into 4 equal rectangles.

  2. Step 2

    Place the pastry rectangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Prick each with a fork to prevent puffing too much.

  3. Step 3

    Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

  4. Step 4

    In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Slice 1 cup strawberries. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled pastry rectangles.

  6. Step 6

    Top with the sliced strawberries and 1/2 cup blueberries. Dust with extra powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately.
