Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Puff Pastry
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface to a thickness of approximately 1/8 inch. Cut into rectangles (about 3x5 inches). Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.
Make the Whipped Cream
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Set aside.
Prepare the Bananas
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds.
Assemble the Napoleon
On a serving plate, layer a piece of puff pastry, followed by a layer of whipped cream, then banana slices, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Repeat the layers, finishing with a puff pastry on top.
Garnish and Serve
Drizzle with shaved dark chocolate and garnish with mint leaves. Serve immediately.
