- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 (10-ounces) package frozen strawberries in heavy syrup, thawed
- 3/4 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- 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.
- Bake in middle of oven until pastry is puffed and golden, 13 to 15 minutes.
- Cool pastry on baking sheet on a rack.

- Roast in middle of oven until tender, 15 to 25 minutes, then cool in pan on a rack.
- Make strawberry sauce and cream filling while rhubarb is roasting: Puree strawberries with syrup in a food processor, then force puree through a very fine sieve into a bowl.
- Sift 5 tablespoons confectioners sugar over creme fraiche and whisk to combine.
- 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.
