To make puff pastry fresh strawberry tarts

Step 1: Prep the puff pastry

To start, spread a layer of parchment paper onto a baking sheet. Allow the puff pastry to thaw until it can be easily unfolded- maybe 15- 30 minutes, but no longer than 40. Then, carefully cut the puff pastry into six- four inch rectangles, using the folds as guidelines. Next, using a pairing knife, carefully score at 1/4 inch all around the edges and prick the centers with a fork.

Step 2: Bake the Puff Pastry

Put the prepped puff pastries into the oven for 10- 12 minutes, or until they are slightly golden and puffed. Then remove them from the oven and using the back of a fork, press down the centers of each pastry to create a shallow dip in the center.

Step 3: Fill the centers with Jam

Carefully spoon out 1-2 Tbsp of Jam into the center of each puff pastry. Gently spread the jam around to cover the bottom. Then, place the puff pastries back into the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the jam is melted. Watch carefully so that the sugar does not burn!

Step 4: Add fresh strawberries

Step 5: Drizzle with icing

In a small bowl, mix together 1 Cup of Confectioner’s sugar with 3-4 Tbsp of the heavy cream and 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract. Start slowly, adding only a couple tablespoons at a time. If the icing is too thick to drizzle, add more heavy cream slowly until it reaches a thinner consistency. Once the consistency is right, use a spoon to carefully drizzle icing sugar over each pastry. Serve immediately.

FAQ for puff pastry fresh strawberry tarts

Can I substitute other jams? Yes! This is also delicious with seedless raspberry jam and fresh raspberries.

Are Puff Pastry and Phyllo dough the same thing? No. Phyllo dough will not work for this recipe. Although Phyllo and Puff are both laminated doughs, Phyllo is much thinner and crisper, while puff is airy and light and more pastry-like.

Can I substitute non-dairy milk for the heavy cream? Yes! You can use any milk substitute for the icing sugar. Just add one Tbsp at a time to make sure the consistency isn’t too thin. Because of the differences in consistency, the amount of liquid needed may vary.
