Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
