Unfold one pastry sheet on large cutting board or clean counter top. Press together any seams or broken areas. (TIP: Keep the second sheet in the fridge until ready to use).
Place second muffin tin on top of pastry rounds to secure and form pie crusts. (Tip: You might need to weigh down the top muffin tin to keep the pastry from rising too much and retain the pie shell shape. I used ramekins).
Remove 2/3 cup strawberries and mash for the glaze.
-Can be made a day ahead.
-When ready to serve top with whipped cream or cool whip.
-The Puff Pastry is still very flaky even though it is compressed. This is what makes this recipe special.
-Could also be made with ready-made pie crust.
