Ingredients
– 2 puff pastry sheets
– 1kg of strawberries
– 1 egg
– 500ml whipping cream
– 2 tablespoons cream cheese
– 1/2 glass of sugar
– 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam
– 1 tablespoon of honey
– 1/2 glass of water
Lets go cook
Time needed: 1 hour and 20 minutes.
– We bake the puff pastry sheets on both sides.
To start, we cover a baking tray with greaseproof paper and sprinkle a little sugar on its surface. We put the puff pastry sheet and we make some holes with a fork. Later, we paint it with beaten egg, and put it in the oven, previously heated to 180ºC. We let it cook for 15 minutes, turn it over, and let it cook another 15 minutes, until both sides are golden brown. Later, we take it out of the oven, and we reserve it. We do the same with the second plate.
– Cut the strawberries and whip the cream that will fill our puff pastry cake.
While the puff pastry is baking, we wash the strawberries and remove the leaves. We cut them into thin slices along them, and we reserve them on a plate. Then, in a large container, we put the cold cream, previously refrigerated, and the cream cheese. We begin to beat with some rods. When it begins to take on density, add the sugar and continue beating until the cream is completely whipped.
– We place the strawberries on one of the puff pastry sheets that we have baked.
On one of the plates, already warm, we put a few tablespoons of the cream and spread it over its entire surface. Next, we are placing the laminated strawberries until it is completely covered. Once this is done, we put the jam, honey and half a glass of water in a bowl. We mix it and paint the strawberries with this mixture. This will give it a lot of shine. Then we save this part for last.
– We fill and assemble our puff pastry cake with strawberries and cream.
Now, we put the rest of the cream in a pastry bag, and we add it on the other sheet of puff pastry, until it is all used up. When we have covered the entire surface, we carefully place the puff pastry sheet with strawberries that we have just reserved. Once this is done, we place the cake on a baking tray, previously heated to 200ºC, heat only above. Finally, we put it in and bake it for 4-5 minutes. After this time, we take the puff pastry cake with strawberries and cream from the oven and serve it, cut into portions.
