 Strawberry & Chocolate Cream Napoleons

This recipe would fall under the ‘what do you mean Valentine’s Day is today!’ dessert. It takes 20 minutes or less to make and it’s good. REAL GOOD.

I’m not gonna lie. I could eat puff pastry as is, fresh out of the oven. I love the stuff. It’s so buttery and flaky. YUM. But I take this a step further and fill these suckers with strawberries and chocolate whipped cream. Yes. Chocolate whipped cream. It’s divine. That’s why I put more on the top. That, and toasted almonds. Gordon liked drizzling chocolate sauce over the whole thing because he’s a choc-o-holic.

Now, originally I was going to post the recipe for a chocolate pie that sealed the deal and got Gordon to marry me. But, I’m saving that for Monday (Valentine’s day! Aww….precious 🙂 ) BECAUSE a lady named Debbie wanted a Diabetic friendly recipe. Debbie is the Mom of a friend and like a second mother to me, just like my Mom is a second mother for her kids. So when I saw she requested a diabetic free treat on my Facebook page of course I had to make something! {PS- if we aren’t friends on Facebook, head on over and say hi! Twitter too! :)} So this is what I came up with! Of course it’s adaptable and can be made with splenda or sugar, depending on your preference. But it’s sugar free! Holla! Hope you guys like this one! It’s pretty tasty!
