Instructions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a 10- by 15-inch rectangle.

With a sharp knife, cut a 1-inch-wide strip from each of the 2 long sides. Brush the edges of the 2 strips lightly with water and place each strip on top of the edge it was cut from, forming a rim. Do the same for the short sides, forming a rim around the whole pastry.

With a fork, pierce the pastry all over, except for the rim. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool, if the center has puffed, push it down with the back of a fork, leaving the rim intact.

Spoon the pudding into the cooled pastry shell and top with the sliced strawberries. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

This recipe yields 6 servings.

Comments: No strawberries? Any type of fresh berries, kiwi, orange slices, grapes, or even canned fruit such as mandarin oranges can be used.
