Strawberry Napoleons

This recipe is from the Pepperidge Farm recipe collection.  I have put my own twist on it though...this is my copy, not the original recipe 





Ingredients:
1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet), thawed
1 package (about 3 ounces) vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix
1 cup milk
1 container of cool whip
1 1/4 cups sliced strawberries


Directions:
*Heat oven to 400*F

*The pastry sheets come in the frozen section by the cool whip and frozen berries at the grocery store.

*In the pastry box are two packages, you only need one.  Open one of them up and let it thaw for about 40 mins (good to do right before you eat dinner, or are waiting for dinner to be finished).  Once the pastry is thawed, open it up (it has been folded over twice).  So now you have a big sheet.  Where the folds were, cut the pastry on these lines.  You will now have 3 long strips of the pastry.

*Cute each of the 3 strips into either 3 squares.

*Put each piece onto a baking sheet.  Place the baking sheet with pieces into your pre-heated oven.  Bake for 13-15 minutes.  Be careful, they burn easily.  You only want them golden brown.  Remove them from the oven and place each piece onto a baking sheet to fully cool.

*Now, split each of your either 9 pastry pieces into two.  So you will now have either 18 pieces.

*In a bowl, mix the pudding mix with only 1 cup of mix.  Follow the rest of the instructions on the package for it however.  Once it is made, stir in the cool whip container.  Mix it well.

*Pour a dab of pudding mixture onto 4 pieces of pastry.  Layer some strawberries.  Put another pastry on.  Layer more pudding and strawberries.  Place the last layer of pastry on top.

Really, really easy to make.  Takes a little bit of time, but its simple once you have read the instructions and know  what you are doing.
