Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding and pie filling
1 cup cold 2% milk
1 ½ cups non-dairy whipped topping, thawed
½ (17.25 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 pint fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
¼ cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Combine pudding mix and cold milk; fold in whipped topping. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Unfold pastry on a cool, lightly floured surface. Cut into 3 strips along fold marks, then cut each strip into four equal pieces. Place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheet, and cool.
  • Split pastries into 2 layers, setting the 8 best looking tops aside. Spread 8 bottom layers with dollops of the pudding mixture. Top each with a layer of strawberries, a small amount of pudding, and another pastry layer. (A small amount of the pudding mix on top of the berries will help keep the layers together.) Spread with remaining pudding mixture and strawberries, and top with remaining pastry layers (the best looking ones). Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.

ROASTED STRAWBERRY NAPOLEON

Roasting the strawberries with vanilla for the filling softens them and draws out their sweetness.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons light corn syrup
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, from standard package (17 1/4 ounces), thawed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
14 medium strawberries (about 1 pint), stems trimmed
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier (optional)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
Orange Pastry Cream
1 tablespoon finely chopped pistachios

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment paper, and set aside. Have ready another baking pan, unlined. In a small bowl, combine corn syrup with 1 teaspoon warm water; set aside.
  • Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll puff-pastry sheet into a 12-inch square; trim edges. Cut sheet on the fold lines, making three 4-by-12-inch rectangles. Place rectangles on lined pan. Top with another piece of parchment. Place the unlined pan on top of the filled pan. Bake puff pastry 8 minutes.
  • Remove the empty pan and top parchment, and return pan to oven. Bake until pastry starts to puff and is light-golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven; lightly brush with reserved corn-syrup mixture. Using a long metal spatula, gently flip rectangles. Brush again with corn-syrup mixture. Bake until shiny and golden brown, about 9 minutes more. With the spatula, transfer puff pastry to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
  • Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees. Using a pastry brush, coat the bottom of a medium oven-proof saute pan with 1 tablespoon butter; scrape vanilla seeds into butter. Place strawberries, cut sides down, in pan. Sprinkle with granulated sugar, and lay vanilla pod on top. Roast until strawberries start to "slump" and feel soft when squeezed, 10 to 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer all but 2 of the berries and vanilla pod to a plate to cool. Reserve juices in pan.
  • Set pan over high heat. If using Grand Marnier, add to pan, and light a match, carefully igniting liqueur; allow flame to burn out, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium. Using a fork, mash 2 remaining strawberries; add orange juice. (If not using liqueur, add 2 tablespoons more orange juice). Cook until thick and syrupy, 30 to 40 seconds; discard vanilla pod. Remove from heat. Swirl in the remaining tablespoon butter, and set aside.
  • Combine cream and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer, and whip until stiff peaks form.
  • Without using a tip, close off the end of a pastry bag with a paper clip or clothespin; fill with whipped cream. Repeat, filling a second pastry bag with orange pastry cream. (Alternatively, use two resealable plastic bags, and cut off a corner on each; an offset spatula can also be used to spread both whipped and pastry creams.)
  • Pipe a tablespoon of pastry cream onto the middle of a serving plate. Center a rectangle of puff pastry on top. Leaving a 1/2-inch border, pipe orange pastry cream onto puff pastry. Arrange roasted strawberries on top of pastry cream; scrape any remaining juices from plate into reserved sauce. Place a second rectangle of puff pastry on top of strawberries. Leaving a 1/2-inch border, pipe whipped cream onto second rectangle of puff pastry. Sprinkle with pistachios. Place a third rectangle of puff pastry on top.
  • Using a serrated knife, slice assembled napoleon into 4 pieces. Drizzle with the reserved sauce, and serve.

Tips:

  • Select ripe, fragrant strawberries: Choose strawberries that are deep red in color and have a sweet aroma. Avoid strawberries that are bruised or have green patches.
  • Roast the strawberries properly: Roasting intensifies the sweetness of the strawberries and brings out their natural flavors. Roast the strawberries until they are slightly caramelized and have a slight char.
  • Make sure the pastry is cold before assembling the napoleon: This will prevent the pastry from becoming soggy. If the pastry is too warm, it will be difficult to handle and may tear.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the napoleon: This will help to create clean, even slices.
  • Serve the napoleon immediately: The napoleon is best enjoyed fresh, when the pastry is still crisp and the strawberries are still juicy.

Conclusion:

This roasted strawberry napoleon is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its layers of crispy pastry, roasted strawberries, and creamy pastry cream, this napoleon is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert to make, give this roasted strawberry napoleon a try. You won't be disappointed.
