Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Puff Pastry
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface to smooth out any creases. Cut each sheet into rectangles of approximately 3x5 inches. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and prick the center with a fork to prevent puffing. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.

Make the Whipped Cream
In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.

Prepare the Macerated Berries
In a bowl, combine the fresh seasonal berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Gently toss and let sit for about 15 minutes to allow the berries to release their juices.

Make the White Chocolate Sauce
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. If needed, add a teaspoon of heavy cream to thin it out. Set aside to cool slightly.

Assemble the Napoleon
On a serving plate, layer one piece of puff pastry, spread a generous amount of whipped cream, add a layer of macerated berries, and drizzle some white chocolate sauce. Repeat the layers with another piece of puff pastry, followed by more whipped cream, berries, and sauce. Top with a final piece of puff pastry and garnish with additional whipped cream, berries, and a drizzle of white chocolate sauce.
