There are few things that say "Summer has Arrived on the North Fork" quite like Strawberry Season! All of the local farm stands have gorgeous pint containers of bright red berries filling their shelves and the U-Pick strawberry fields are open and ready for the picking!
Given the plethora of delicious, fresh, local strawberries on the North Fork at the moment it seemed only appropriate to feature Strawberries in our "Cooking with Suhru" post this week! And what better to pair with strawberries than rosé?!
When it comes to strawberry shortcake there are lots of different options, however I like to keep it simple as the strawberries are, and should be, the star of the show! Therefore I skip the fancy cake options and go for personal strawberry shortcake towers that are fit for a king. Pair with a glass or can of our Suhru Rosé and you will be dreaming of summer no matter the season!
Ingredients
- 2 frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 bottle Suhru Rosé
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
- On a lightly floured surface, spread out your puff pastry and lightly roll until just smooth. Cut your puff pastry into four equal squares. Repeat with second sheet on pastry.
- Place your puff pastry on an ungreased baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter. Bake until golden brown, approximately 12 minutes. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar. Let stand for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In another bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add vanilla and powdered sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
- To serve, place one puff pastry square in the middle of a plate. Top with a healthy serving of whipped cream and strawberries. Place second square on top and repeat. Do this for all pastry squares.
- Serve with a chilled glass of Suhru Rosé and enjoy!
