What you need

sparkling water

puff pastry

cup strawberry preserves

tsp vanilla bean paste

strawberry

cup heavy whipping cream

cup granulated cane sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Gently roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a floured surface to remove any kinks from the packaging. Slice into 10-12 squares, or 8 rectangles. Score the edges of each puff pastry to help you press in the centers after baking. Brush each with the beaten egg, then bake 18-20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking, until a deep golden brown and puffed up. If needed, use a small, serrated knife to slice along the scored edges then gently press in the centers with your fingers. Spoon a dollop of strawberry jam into the center of each. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla paste. Beat on medium high speed for 5-6 minutes, until fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag. Pipe the whipped cream onto the cooled pastries, then garnish with the sliced fresh strawberries to enjoy!View original recipe
