This is a yummy spring desert that I came up with to use some strawberries and raspberries I had. It's pretty much a variation on strawberry short cake. I used puff pastry instead of shortbread and added a dark chocolate raspberry sauce. I pretty much eyeballed everything with this.
1 package rinsed and cut strawberries
1 package rinsed raspberries
sugar to sweeten
1 package puff pastry
1 8 oz container heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon vanilla
confectionery sugar
8oz dark or semi sweet chocolate morsels or chopped bar
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 Half and Half
1. Use one sheet puff pastry, cut into squares. Bake according to package.
2. Slice strawberries and add them to bowl mix with raspberries and sugar to your taste. Set aside. (set aside about a handful of raspberries)
3. In small sauce pan bring half and half to simmer. Pour over chocolate, butter and vanilla. Whisk until well blended. Add raspberries and mash whisk all together. Turn off heat, let thicken
4. Once chocolate is melted add about a handful of raspberries to chocolate. With a fork mash into mixture.
5. Add teaspoon of vanilla to the chocolate sauce. Then confectionery sugar to sweeten.
6. In chilled bowl mix whipping cream with tablespoon vanilla and sugar to sweeten. With electric mixer, mix until peaks form.
To assemble:
Once cooled, take two squares puff pastry. On top of one place spoonful of whipped cream. Next take a spoonful of sliced berries. Top with another spoonful of whipped cream. Place the other puff pastry on top. Then reheat chocolate sauce (is best served hot) and drizzle over top of pastry. Put small drop of whipped cream and one strawberry and one raspberry to top. Sprinkle with confectionery sugar and ENJOY!
