Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into rectangles about 3×4 inches in size.
Place the puff pastry rectangles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Prick each piece with a fork to prevent them from rising too much. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and flaky. Allow to cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until well combined. Fold in the sweetened whipped cream until smooth and creamy.
Rinse and slice the strawberries. Toss with a tablespoon of powdered sugar and let sit for about 10 minutes to create a syrup.
Assemble the Napoleons by placing one puff pastry rectangle on a plate, adding cheesecake filling, then sliced strawberries. Repeat the layers and finish with a final pastry layer. Dust with remaining powdered sugar.
Serve immediately for the best texture.
