Raspberry Mille-Feuille Cookies Recipe

Introduction

Raspberry Mille-Feuille Cookies are delicate, layered treats combining crisp puff pastry with light vanilla whipped cream and fresh raspberries. These bite-sized delights are perfect for entertaining or enjoying as a sophisticated snack.

Ingredients

• 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
• 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 pint fresh raspberries
• Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Step 1: 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 into small rectangles approximately 1 inch by 2 inches.
2. Step 2: Place pastry rectangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Prick each piece with a fork to prevent excessive puffing. Sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and crisp. Cool completely on a wire rack.
3. Step 3: In a large bowl, combine chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form, being careful not to overwhip.
4. Step 4: Assemble the cookies by layering: place one puff pastry rectangle down, pipe or spoon dollops of vanilla whipped cream on top, then add a second pastry piece. Repeat the cream layer, add a third pastry layer, finish with whipped cream, and top each with 2-3 fresh raspberries.
5. Step 5: Garnish each cookie with a small mint leaf for color and freshness if desired. Repeat for remaining cookies and serve.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crispness, chill the puff pastry pieces before baking.
• Try substituting raspberries with fresh strawberries or blueberries for a different fruit flavor.
• Use a piping bag with a star tip to create decorative whipped cream layers.

Storage

Store assembled cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day to maintain the crispness of the pastry. For best texture, assemble cookies just before serving. Leftover whipped cream can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 2 days.

FAQs

Can I make these cookies ahead of time?

It’s best to bake the puff pastry ahead but assemble the cookies shortly before serving to keep the pastry crisp and the cream fresh.

What if I don’t have fresh raspberries?

You can substitute with other fresh berries like strawberries or blueberries, or even a thin layer of jam to add flavor.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Puff Pastry Layer

• 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Whipped Cream Filling

• 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Assembly and Garnish

• 1 pint fresh raspberries
• Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the pastry into small, bite-sized rectangles approximately 1 inch by 2 inches. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and prick all over with a fork to prevent over-puffing. Lightly sprinkle the tops with granulated sugar to add sweetness and enhance crispiness. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
2. 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 mixture until soft peaks form, ensuring you do not overwhip so the cream remains light and airy.
3. Assemble the Mille-Feuille Cookies: Once the puff pastry pieces are fully cooled, start assembling. Place one pastry rectangle on a clean surface and pipe or spoon small dollops of vanilla whipped cream onto it, leaving space around edges for cream to peek through. Top with a second puff pastry rectangle and repeat the whipped cream layer. Add a third puff pastry layer, followed by a final layer of whipped cream. Complete each cookie by topping with 2-3 fresh raspberries and optionally garnish with a fresh mint leaf for a touch of color and freshness. Repeat until all cookies are assembled.

Notes

• Ensure puff pastry is well chilled before rolling for easier handling and better puff.
• Do not overwhip the cream to avoid curdling; stop at soft peaks.
• Use fresh raspberries for best flavor and texture; frozen raspberries are not recommended.
• Cookies are best enjoyed the same day for optimal crispness of the pastry.
• Store assembled cookies in the refrigerator if needed, but consume within a few hours to maintain texture.
