Ingredients

1/2 package Pepperidge Farm Frozen Puff Pastry Sheet

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate pieces, melted and cooled

( I use bittersweet chocolate chips.)

1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate melted and cooled

2 cups whipped topping or sweetened whipped cream (see below)

1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries (Bananas are great, too!)

Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting finished napoleon

*Sweetened cream recipe: 1 cup of heavy cream, 2 TB of sugar,

and 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract. Whip this all together until stiff. This makes 2 cups of cream!

Alternative dessert options:

Use bananas, blueberries (fresh not frozen), mangos and follow the recipe as shown.

You can use a vanilla mousse, too! Add one small box of instant vanilla pudding to 2 cups of whole milk and beat until firm. I use the sugar-free instant pudding and its great! Use this instead of the chocolate mousse. You can actually fold this into one cup of heavy cream that has been whipped for a "moussier" texture.

Directions

Thaw the pastry sheet at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Unfold the pastry sheet and cut along the three fold marks into 3 long strips.

Cut each strip into six small rectangles.

Place each rectangle on to a baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and let cool on a rack.

...

Beat the cream and cinnamon in mixer until stiff. Fold in the 1 cup of melted and cooled chocolate.

...

With a good knife, slip the blade between each pastry and split into two layers. Don't squeeze the pastry or it will crumble. Be gentle!

...

Separate your layers of pastry into three groups of 12 layers each.

Spread the chocolate cream or mousse layer on one layer,

Top each one with another layer of pastry.

Then top with the plain whipped cream or sweetened cream and then add a layer of strawberries.

Top with another layer of pastry.

Using the 1/2 cup of melted chocolate, drizzle the last layer of pastry with the chocolate lightly making strips or a design if you wish.

You can now sprinkle with powdered sugar if you wish.
