How to make strawberry cream puffs recipe

Serves 4

Total cooking time 20 minutes

Ingredients:
300 g (10 oz) ready-rolled puff pastry
4 tablespoons icing sugar
300 ml (½ pint) double cream
300 g (10 oz) strawberries, hulled and halved

Method:
Cut the pastry into 12 equal rectangles and arrange on a baking sheet. Place another baking sheet on top to prevent the pastry from puffing up too much during cooking. Place in a preheated oven, 200°C (400°F), Gas Mark 6, for 10 minutes until golden and crisp.

Sift half the icing sugar over the pastry puffs and cook under a preheated hot grill for 30 seconds until the sugar melts. Leave to cool.

Whisk the cream with the remaining icing sugar until soft peaks form. Arrange the pastry strips, whipped cream and strawberries on plates and serve immediately.

For strawberry cream pots, whisk 300 ml (½ pint) double cream with ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons icing sugar until soft peaks form.

Stir in 200 g (7 oz) hulled and chopped strawberries and divide between small glass bowls. Serve with shortbread biscuits. Total cooking time 10 minutes.
