There's lots of lemony flavor in every bite of this yummy dessert. And because strawberry and lemon make such a great pair we made sure to top our Strawberry-Lemon Cream Puff Cake with lots of fresh strawberries. It's sure to put a smile on everyone's faces.
What You'll Need
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce box)
- 1 quart heavy cream
- 1 (15.75-ounce) can lemon pie filling
- Lemon zest from 1/2 a lemon, divided
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 16 whole strawberries, with stems removed
What to Do
- Bake puff pastry according to package directions. Allow to cool, then flatten gently.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Equally divide whipped cream into 2 separate bowls.
- In one bowl of whipped cream, add lemon pie filling; mix gently, just until combined. Slowly mix in half the lemon zest. Add sugar to the second bowl of whipped cream, mixing gently.
- Spread lemon mixture over pastry sheet, then evenly spread whipped cream over that.
- Freeze about 4 hours, or until firm. Thaw in refrigerator 2-4 hours before serving. Just before serving, place whole strawberries evenly on top and sprinkle with remaining lemon zest. Cut into squares and serve.
So Many Options!
Not a fan of strawberries? We think this cream puff cake would be just as tasty with loads of fresh blueberries on top, too! Why not give both a try and see which one you like best?

This looks delicious! Was wondering is that powdered or granulated sugar?

I have never prepared a recipe using puff pastry. It just seems out of my league. This recipe assures me that using puff pastry is a cinch and I should not be intimidated in trying it. I will grab a box on my next grocery run.

Impressive dessert. Thanks for the notes that any fruit could be used if strawberries are not your favorite or on sale in my case. I am sure fresh would be much better over frozen though so I will not attempt that substitution.

Herb Crusted Lamb with Mint Sauce 
Instead of cooking ham or prime rib for Easter, why not try something new this year? Our Herb-Crusted Lamb with Mint Sauce may look and sound fancy, but it's really easy to do. It's basically a rack of lamb that's coated with herbs and spices before it's roasted to perfection. Just before serving, it's finished off with a mint-wine reduction. The end result is an Easter-worthy main dish that'll impress everyone at the table.
