400g puff pastry
200g fresh strawberries, sliced
200ml whipping cream (sweetened with a few tablespoons of icing sugar)
16 teaspoons strawberry jam
2 tablespoons white cocoa syrup (like @saveur_cestdelicieux)
About 4 tablespoons icing sugar (for dusting)
Melted chocolate, for drizzling
1 egg (for egg wash)
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Cut hearts or rectangles from the puff pastry. Use the full sheet if making hearts; for rectangles, use half. Save off-cuts for another pastry project.
Brush the tops with egg wash and bake until golden and puffed—around 12-15 minutes. Cool completely.
Slice pastries open carefully.
Spread 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam inside each puff.
Whip the cream with icing sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in white cocoa syrup.
Pipe the cream over the jam, layer with fresh strawberry slices, and place the top pastry back on.
Dust with icing sugar and drizzle melted chocolate generously.
Chill before serving for a refreshing twist.
