- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips, melted (for drizzle)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut into squares or circles, about 3 inches in size. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over the pastry pieces to give them a golden color when baked.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Make Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
