Easy Strawberry Shortcake Puffs are a simple dessert that contains just five ingredients. By using frozen puff pastry and sweet strawberries, this easy dessert is ready in less than an hour!
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two large baking pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry into a 10-inch square and then cut into 12 rectangles. Place onto baking pans. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden. Remove to wire racks and let cool completely.
While puff pastry is baking, in a large bowl, toss strawberries with ¼ cup sugar. Let stand for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In another bowl, beat the cream with a hand mixer until it begins to thicken. Add vanilla and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
To serve, split pastries horizontally in half. Top each bottom half with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream and 1 tablespoon of strawberries; add the remaining halves on top. Top each shortcake with additional whipped cream and strawberries. Serve immediately.
