I almost always have puff pastry in the freezer. It's so versatile. These Balsamic Strawberries in Puff Pastry with Rosemary Cream combines sweet and the savory taste of rosemary, which is infused into whipped cream.

Prep: 20 mins
Yields: 6 Servings

Ingredients

6 puff pastry shells, baked as per package instructions

Balsamic Strawberries

12 strawberries, rinsed, stemmed, halved

1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon sugar

Rosemary Cream

1 cups heavy cream, divided

3 sprigs rosemary

2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Candied Rosemary

 4 tablespoons sugar, divided

2 Tablespoons hot water

Directions

Balsamic Strawberries

1Toss berries with balsamic vinegar and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

Rosemary Cream

1In a small saucepan, bring ½ cup of the cream just to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 2 of the rosemary sprigs. Cover and let steep for 10 minutes.

2Set up an ice bath. Strain the steeped cream into a metal bowl, set the bowl into the ice bath, and chill the cream until cold, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the remaining ½ cup cream and the confectioners' sugar. Continue to whisk until the cream forms soft peaks.

Candied Rosemary

1 In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of hot water. Put the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar in a shallow bowl. Dip the remaining rosemary sprig in the sugar syrup to coat. Tap off any excess liquid on a paper towel, and then gently toss the wet sprig in the bowl of sugar. Set it on a paper towel to dry, about 5 minutes.

2Fill each puff pasty shell with whipped cream then top with 2 strawberries each. Garnish with candied rosemary. Serve immediately.
