Neapolitan Napoleons

Print
Wow! Layers of flaky pastry filled with cinnamon-spiked chocolate mousse and whipped topping with fresh strawberries—what a crowd pleaser!

Instructions

While the pastry is thawing, heat the oven to 400°F.
Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry sheet into 3 strips along the fold marks. Cut each strip into 6 rectangles. Place the pastries onto 2 baking sheets.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Remove the pastries from the baking sheets and let cool on wire racks for 10 minutes.  Split each pastry into 2 layers, making 36 in all.
Beat the heavy cream and cinnamon in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold in the melted chocolate pieces.
Reserve 12 top pastry layers.  Spread 12 bottom pastry layers with the chocolate mixture and add another pastry layer.  Top with the whipped topping, strawberries and the reserved top pastry layers.  Sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar.
