Ingredients
For the puff pastry hearts:
- 1 package of puff pastry dough, thawed
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
For the whipped cream filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 (3.4 oz) package vanilla pudding mix
Additional toppings:
- Nutella
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
1. Prepare the puff pastry:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry dough on a lightly floured surface.
- Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out hearts from the dough. Place the hearts onto the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Lightly brush the tops of the pastry hearts with the egg wash.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the hearts are puffed and golden brown. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
2. Make the whipped cream filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla pudding mix. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a star tip for easy assembly.
3. Assemble the cream puffs:
- Once the puff pastry hearts are cool, carefully pull each heart apart to create two layers.
- Spread a generous layer of Nutella on the bottom half of each heart.
- Pipe a swirl of whipped cream on top of the Nutella layer.
- Arrange sliced strawberries over the whipped cream.
- Place the top half of the puff pastry heart gently on top to sandwich the filling.

4. Add the finishing touches:

- Finish by sifting powdered sugar over the cream puffs for a touch of sweetness and a beautiful presentation.
