Summer berries Desserts cream fruits lemon curd Berries French

3 f pastry rectangles (2 1/2 x 5 inch)
1/2 cup heavy am
1 tsp vanilla sugar+ 1 TBS dered sugar to sweeten whi
2 cup on curd +extra(optional)
1 cup berries raspberries,blueberries,awberries
1 dered sugar for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 425 deg. Cut puff pastry into rectangles...I think circles would be cute as well. Place on baking sheet and sprinkle with some raw sugar if you like(you don't have to do this). Prick with a fork all over. Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden. Keep an eye on it ...they can burn quite easily. Take out and cool. Split the puff pastry in two with a sharp knife being very careful as they can break on you...just be gentle.In the meantime, clean berries and cut strawberries into 4 wedges.In a mixer, using a whisk, whip cream on high until nice and thick. Add vanilla sugar and 1 TBS powdered sugar and whip a few more seconds until combined. Fold in 2-3 TBS of lemon curd. Assemble napoleons. Place a small circle of lemon curd on bottom of plate...this keeps the napoleon from sliding around on you.Place some fluffy lemon cream unto a piece of puff pastry.Add some berries and add a dollop of lemon curd on top.Repeat with a second layer. Add top sheet of puff pastry and spread a few more berries on the bottom of the plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. This recipe will keep in the fridge for about 30 minutes before getting soggy.
