Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400ðF (200ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the frozen puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Cut the pastry into 1-inch wide strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  4. Place the strips vertically on the baking sheet, standing them up so they can puff outward freely.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and fully puffed.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
  7. Whip the thickened cream until it forms soft peaks.
  8. Once the pastry is cool, dust generously with icing sugar.
  9. Serve immediately, optionally topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
