French Napoleons

These are to die for!!! They are so easy, yet look so elegant!!! i usually use a heart-shaped cookie cutter, but have also done squares, diamonds, etc. This is a must make for valentine's day at my house! But would be wonderful for any holiday or romantic dinner.

Steps

On a lightly floured surface , roll out each pastry sheet to 1 / 8-inch thickness.

Using a shaped cookie cutter of your choice , cut out 9 napoleons per sheet.

Place on ungreased baking sheets.

Bake at 400 for 8-11 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove to wire racks to cool.

In a bowl , whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes.

Fold in cool whip.

Split puff pastry shapes in half.

Place bottom halves on serving plates.

Spoon filling over each.

Top with strawberries.

I make the points of the slices stick out over the edges.

Top with pastry tops.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Serve immediately.
