Mille Feuille
Who would have thought that you could easily make this showstopper mille feuille dessert with a pack of puff pastry and a super quick vanilla pastry cream? To make homemade mille-feuille, you bake puff pastry under weights so it remains compacted and crisp and doesn't puff up high. Afterward, the crispy layers of Mille Feuille are stacked with crème pâtissière or crème mousseline. And finally, topped with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or fruit.
