Flaky & buttery puff pastry filled with fresh whipped cream, sweet strawberries, and topped with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Valentine’s might be four days away but that does not mean you can’t enjoy a date night at home with your significant other tonight. When you are a parent of young kids, sometimes those type of dates are your only choice. For us, we often celebrate holidays and milestones after the kids are tucked away in bed. That is why today I wanted to share these Strawberry Cream Puffs.

No dinner is complete without a tasty dessert. These Strawberry Cream Puffs were mighty yummy too! These were also easy to make!
Here is how to make my version of Strawberry Cream Puffs:
- Heavy whipping cream- 8 ounces

This is such a great idea! I might have to send this post to my husband because I’m constantly trying to get him to cook dinner for me. (The last time he cooked for me was before we were married!) LOL.
I love that this is simple with very little clean up and is totally something he can make on his own without destroying my kitchen!
Yum! Those look so delicious! I will definitely have to make some of these! Looks so good!
This is a perfect Valentines day meal. The Strawberry Cream Puffs will be so delicious for dessert. I can not wait to try them.
These Strawberry Cream Puffs are so cute! My family will surely enjoy these!
Everything here looks great. Those cream puffs look amazing! I need to make those. I know my girls would love them for Valentine’s Day.
The mason jar with the lights is a cute idea. No need to worry about anything catching on fire during a romantic night. All that food looks delicious especially your strawberry cream puffs.
Even if its not for date night these meals sound fantastic! Some nughts,I just do not feel like cooking and that is where these would be great!
What a fun Valentine’s Day idea! With V-Day being in the middle of the week, this would be a great way to have a romantic dinner at home! Thanks for the idea!
How many oz of puff pastry dough?
Hi, it is one package. I am not sure of the ounces of the full package.
Thank you
Would this be 2 puffs per serving?
Hi, one puff is a serving.
Do you only get 4 hearts from each sheet of puff pastry? Do you double the puff pastry? Thank you?
