Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup confectioners sugar 
  • 0.8 cup crème fraîche sour
  • sheet puff pastry frozen thawed (from a)
  • lb rhubarb stalks trimmed
  • 10 ounces strawberries in heavy syrup frozen thawed

Equipment

  • food processor
  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • knife
  • whisk
  • sieve
  • baking pan
  • rolling pin

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Unfold puff pastry sheet and gently roll out with a floured rolling pin on a very lightly floured surface into a 12-inch square. Trim edges with a sharp knife, then cut pastry into 6 rectangles (about 6 by 4 inches each). Arrange rectangles 1 to 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet and prick them all over with a fork.
  3. Bake in middle of oven until pastry is puffed and golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool pastry on baking sheet on a rack.
  4. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.
  5. Arrange rhubarb in 1 layer in a lightly oiled shallow 15- by 10-inch baking pan (preferably nonstick) and sift 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar evenly over it. Roast in middle of oven until tender, 15 to 25 minutes, then cool in pan on a rack.
  6. Make strawberry sauce and cream filling while rhubarb is roasting: Purée strawberries with syrup in a food processor, then force purée through a very fine sieve into a bowl.
  7. Sift 5 tablespoons confectioners sugar over crème fraîche and whisk to combine.
  8. Sift remaining tablespoon confectioners sugar over pastry rectangles. Make a 3-inch lengthwise trough in the center of each rectangle by gently tapping with back of a teaspoon. Divide cream filling among troughs and top with rhubarb, then drizzle with strawberry sauce.
  9. Strawberry sauce and cream filling can be made 1 day ahead and chilled separately, covered.
