Okay.. I dunno I thought all the preparatory stuff for this pastry was sexy actually and then once you started putting it together I thought.. hey that's nice.. now at the end I am wondering?? How are you supposed to eat it. Is is for one serving, two people, do you cut into it.. do you eat it in layers? I am so confused. It's looks pretty and delectable .. but how do you eat it? (smile) for real and what did you find to be the most doable amount of layering? Beautiful! Thanks

haha i totally hear you! Yes, it's pretty to look at, but impossible to eat without making a mess! I just ate it with my fingers, one layer at a time ;) Then of course use a fork/spoon to scoop up any sloppy globs. I would say 1-2 layers max for easy munchability! =)

Mmmm look sooo yummy! *drool*

I'm going to have to find a vegan recipe for puff pastry dough ...

I have access to soy cream/sour/whipping creams, so, the filling is vegan-able.

Thanks for sharing the recipe and techniques

Have you ever made baking powder biscuits? Those are fabulous smothered with juicy strawberries & whipped topping.

Simple recipe:

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 teaspoon salt

5 tablespoons shortening

3/4 cup milk DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). In a bowl mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the shortening and mix until in little pieces. Add milk a little at a time and mix until it forms a ball.

Roll out on floured board to 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thick. Cut out in desired size and dip in melted shortening. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 450F (230C) for 12 to 15 minutes.

Variation: For shortcakes add 2 tablespoons for sugar to the dough and roll dough out to 1/2 inch thick.

Just sub in your vegan ingredients & you should be good to go! I'm sure you know the proper EU conversions, if you need them =)

Can you give the sizes of the cans., jars, etc when you use something? Like the oz on the sour cream, etc.

Thanks for thinking about it :) !

[twixtbetwixt]

Ohh I was hoping you'd see the size when i showed the package LOL I usually don't measure anything when i cook - just add to taste! ;)

The cream cheese & sour cream were 8oz each. But you can use more or less of each depending on what you like. Honey/sweetener to your personal taste. I used like 3-4 TBPS honey.

About 1 cup heavy cream & 1 TBSP powdered sugar.

I think the pastry puffs was a 17oz package. There were two large sheets in there. Which cut down to 18 squares.

1 pint strawberries
