Ingredients
Scale
1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry sheets
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup diced fresh strawberries
2 tbsp granulated sugar (for strawberries)
1 tbsp melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin well.
In a bowl, toss diced strawberries with granulated sugar and set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out crescent dough or puff pastry into a rectangle. If using crescent rolls, press seams together.
Cut dough into strips about 2 inches wide. Roll each strip into a spiral and place into muffin cups.
Brush tops with melted butter if desired. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden and puffed. Cool slightly.
In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Once cruffins are cool, cut a slit in the side or top and pipe or spoon whipped cream inside. Top with sugared strawberries.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
Notes
Best enjoyed fresh the same day they’re made.
You can prep the whipped cream and strawberries ahead of time.
Try adding lemon zest to the whipped cream for a citrus twist.
