Perfect as an elegant dessert or a sweet snack, they combine the flakiness of puff pastry with vibrant strawberry flavors and a beautiful presentation.

Ingredients

Scale

Strawberry Filling

  • 2 (1-oz.) packages freeze-dried strawberries, divided
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam

Puff Pastry

  • 2 (17.3-oz.) sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup white chocolate, melted
  • 1 tsp (or more) neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Strawberries: Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat it to 400°F (200°C). Crush one package of freeze-dried strawberries finely using a food processor or by pulsing in a plastic bag. Coarsely crush the remaining package and set aside for garnish.
  2. Prepare Puff Pastry Sheets: Roll out each thawed puff pastry sheet to a 9 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ square. Evenly sprinkle granulated sugar over the entire surface of each pastry sheet. Use a rolling pin to gently press the sugar into the pastry, then flip the pastry over so the sugar side is down.
  3. Spread Jam and Strawberries: Spread 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam evenly over the surface of each puff pastry sheet. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the finely ground freeze-dried strawberries evenly atop the jam. Repeat this process for the second puff pastry sheet.
  4. Fold Pastry into Log: Fold the right side of the pastry into the center, then fold the left side to meet the right side in the center. Repeat this folding step again (right side to center, left side to center) until a log shape forms. Make a final fold by folding the right side over the top of the left side, creating a compact log.
  5. Slice the Logs: Using a sharp knife, cut each log crosswise into 15 pieces approximately 1/2″ to 3/4″ thick. Place the slices on two parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake the Palmiers: Bake the palmiers in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes, turning the trays halfway through baking to ensure even browning. Bake until the pastries are puffy and golden around the edges. Remove from oven and let cool on the trays for at least 15 minutes.
  7. Prepare Chocolate Dips: Divide the melted white chocolate evenly between two small deep bowls. Stir 1 tablespoon of the finely ground strawberries and 1 teaspoon of neutral oil into one bowl of melted chocolate to create a smooth, glossy strawberry white chocolate. Adjust oil quantity as needed for consistency.
  8. Dip and Garnish Palmiers: Dip one edge of half of the palmiers into the strawberry-flavored white chocolate and transfer to parchment or waxed paper to dry. Dip the edges of the remaining palmiers into plain white chocolate. While still wet, sprinkle the dipped edges with the reserved coarsely crushed freeze-dried strawberries for extra texture and color.

Notes

  • Ensure puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling out to prevent cracking.
  • Use a sharp knife for slicing the pastry logs to maintain clean edges.
  • Adding neutral oil to melted chocolate thins it and helps achieve a smooth dipping consistency.
  • Freeze-dried strawberries add intense flavor without moisture, preventing soggy pastries.
  • Store finished palmiers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
