    I guess you know this situation… you want to make something, but somehow there is never enough time. Or there are so many other things to do, that one thing gets pushed back all the time. Happened to me with Mille-feuille. Many of you probably know this delicious French dessert already. I had it on my “to-do-list” for ages but never time to make it. Until now… ;)

    So today I finally made it… well not today. It happened several days ago, but today the recipe finally gets published here on the blog! Hallelujah! It was about time! These crunchy thin layers of puff pastry, the Crème Chantilly (whipped cream with white chocolate) and fresh berries make this dessert exceptionally good!

    Mille-feuille is French (as you probably guessed) and means something like “thousand leaves”, referring to the many layers of the puff pastry. There are no really a thousand layers, but we are getting close ;)

    This delicious French dessert exists in many versions. The most popular one is probably the “Napoleon”. This one also has three layers of puff pastry with a vanilla cream, but instead of berries, it has a sugar topping with chocolate. Also good. I might show you that one too some day ;)

    Note: If you are placing the baking sheet on top of the puff pastry dough, you should place a skewer or something similar between the sheets of puff pastry. You don’t want the dough to rise much but also not to be pressed down completely – can happen if the baking sheet on top is too heavy ;)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Start with the vanilla cream the day before by chopping the white chocolate coarsely. Add to a tall bowl and set aside. Add the heavy cream to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Take off the heat, let cool down a bit, then pour over the chocolate. Wait for 2-3 minutes, then add the vanilla paste and mascarpone and mix shortly with an immersive blender until well combined. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 12 hours over night.

    2. Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry dough on a floured surface (or roll out the dough if you use a pre-made dough from the supermarket). Cut the dough with a really sharp knife into squares (4.7×2.4 inches) and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and place a second piece of baking parchment on top, then top with a second baking sheet (I used a cookie sheet) to prevent the dough from rising. Reduce the heat of the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Take out of the oven and let cool down on a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining dough.

    3. Take the vanilla cream out of the fridge and beat with medium speed of a handheld mixer until stiff peaks form. Don’t go too fast or the cream might turn into a mess. Fill the cream into a piping bag with round tip.

    4. To assemble the mille-feuille, place a puff pastry piece on a plate, dust with some confectioners’ sugar and top with drops of vanilla cream and berries. Top with a second puff pastry layer and repeat. Add a third layer of puff pastry, confectioners’ sugar and finish with cream and berries.

    1. Am Vortag die Vanillecreme zubereiten und dafür die weiße Schokolade grob hacken und in ein hohes Gefäß geben. Die Sahne in einem kleinen Topf zum Kochen bringen, vom Herd nehmen und kurz abkühlen lassen, dann über die gehackte Schokolade gießen und 2-3 Minuten stehen lassen. Die Vanillepaste und den Mascarpone dazugeben und alles mit einem Pürierstab kurz mixen. Abdecken und über Nacht in den Kühlschrank stellen (min. 12 Stunden).

    2. Den Backofen auf 200°C (390°F) vorheizen. Den Blätterteig auf einer leicht bemehlten Fläche ca. 2mm dünn ausrollen (oder den fertigen Teig einfach entrollen). Mit einem scharfen Messer Rechtecke (ca.12x6cm) ausschneiden und auf ein mit Backpapier ausgelegtes Backblech legen. Die Rechtecke gleichmäßig mit Puderzucker bestäuben und dann mit einem Stück Backpapier abdecken und ein zweites Backblech drauflegen (ich hab ein Cookie-Backblech genommen, weil das perfekt in das untere Blech reingepasst hat) – der Blätterteig soll daran gehindert werden zu sehr aufzugehen. Die Temperatur des Backofens auf 180°C (350°F) reduzieren und die Teigstücke dann für 18-20 Minuten backen, bis sie goldbraun sind und der Puderzucker leicht karamellisiert ist. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett abkühlen lassen. Wenn nicht alle Teigstücke auf ein Blech gepasst haben, Vorgang wiederholen.

    3. Die kalte Vanillesahne auf niedriger Stufe aufschlagen, bis sie steif ist. Hier sollte man vorsichtig sein und es nicht zu eilig haben, sonst kann die Creme schnell mal zu viel aufgeschlagen werden und dann ausflocken. Die Creme in einen Spritzbeutel mit runder Tülle füllen.

    4. Für den Zusammenbau der Mille-feuille eine Blätterteigplatte mit Puderzucker bestäuben und dann Cremetupfen aufspritzen. Je nachdem wie man das möchte, kann man nur Creme verwenden oder abwechselnd Beeren zwischen die Tupfen setzen. Eine zweite Platte daraufsetzen, mit Puderzucker bestäuben und wieder Creme aufspritzen (mit oder ohne Beeren). Mit einer letzten Blätterteigschicht abschließen, erneut mit Puderzucker bestäuben und dann nach belieben mit Creme und/oder Beeren dekorieren.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
