Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- 1 cup of strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup of vanilla pastry cream
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tsp of lemon zest
- 1 tsp of lemon juice
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 4 equal rectangles. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and prick the surface with a fork.
-
Bake the puff pastry rectangles for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and puffed. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
-
In a bowl, combine the strawberries, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir gently to combine and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
To assemble the gâteau, place one puff pastry rectangle on a serving plate. Spread a layer of pastry cream on top.
-
Arrange a layer of strawberry slices on the pastry cream, covering the entire surface. Repeat the layers with the remaining puff pastry rectangles, pastry cream, and strawberries.
-
In a small saucepan, melt the granulated sugar over medium heat until it turns into a golden caramel. Be careful not to burn it.
-
Carefully drizzle the caramel over the top layer of strawberries, allowing it to drip down the sides of the gâteau.
-
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
-
Serve chilled and enjoy!
