Ingredients
Scale
Puff Pastry
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Vanilla Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Assembly
- 1 pint fresh raspberries
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface until about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the pastry into small, bite-sized rectangles approximately 1 inch by 2 inches. Place the rectangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and prick all over with a fork to prevent excessive puffing. Sprinkle granulated sugar lightly on top to enhance sweetness and crispness. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Make the Vanilla Whipped Cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the cream until soft peaks form, ensuring the cream remains light and airy without overwhipping.
- Assemble the Mille-Feuille Cookies: Once the puff pastry pieces are cool, begin layering. Place one piece on a clean surface and pipe or spoon dollops of vanilla whipped cream, leaving space for cream to peek through the sides. Add a second pastry layer and repeat the cream application. Finish with a third pastry layer, top with a final layer of whipped cream, and garnish with 2-3 fresh raspberries. Optionally, add a fresh mint leaf for an attractive and fresh touch. Repeat for remaining pieces.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry is well chilled before rolling to achieve the best puff and flakiness.
- Pricking the pastry prevents it from puffing unevenly and helps in crisping.
- Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately after assembly to preserve the crispness of the pastry.
- These cookies can be refrigerated for up to a day but may lose some crispness.
- You can substitute fresh raspberries with other berries like strawberries or blueberries if desired.
