Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Puff Pastry Layers:
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar for sprinkling
For the Vanilla Whipped Cream:
  • 1 cup heavy cream chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Garnish:
  • 1 pint fresh raspberries
  • Fresh mint leaves optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Crafting the Flaky Layers
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick.
  4. Cut the pastry into small, bite-sized rectangles (approximately 1 inch by 2 inches).
  5. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and prick all over with a fork to prevent excessive puffing.
  6. Lightly sprinkle granulated sugar on top for extra crispiness.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Cool on a wire rack.
Step 2: Whipping Up the Vanilla Cream
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
  2. Beat with an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Avoid overwhipping.
Step 3: Assembling the Masterpiece
  1. Once the pastry rectangles are cool, start layering.
  2. Place one piece on a clean surface and pipe or spoon small dollops of vanilla whipped cream on top.
  3. Add a second pastry piece and repeat with whipped cream.
  4. Finish with a third pastry layer, a final dollop of whipped cream, and 2-3 fresh raspberries.
  5. Garnish with a mint leaf for a touch of elegance.
  6. Repeat the process for all cookies.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, allow the puff pastry to cool completely before assembling.
  • If you prefer a sweeter cream, add an extra tablespoon of powdered sugar.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
