Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Thaw the puff pastry according to package directions, then roll it out slightly and cut into 6 equal squares.
-
Place the pastry squares on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 10 minutes to prevent shrinking.
-
Bake the pastry squares for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Let cool completely.

To make the white chocolate cream, heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream until simmering.
-
Pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate in a bowl and stir until smooth.
-
Whisk in the mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, and almond extract until combined.
-
Chill the white chocolate cream until thickened, about 30 minutes.
-
Whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold it into the white chocolate mixture.
-
Assemble the napoleons by spreading a layer of cream on one pastry square, topping with another square, and repeating until all layers are used.
-
Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
