French 5 Layer Mille-Feuille Delight

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Roll out the puff pastry to a thickness of about 3 mm. Cut it into 5 equal rectangles, each approximately 10x5 cm.

3. 3

   Place the pastry rectangles on the prepared tray. Prick them all over with a fork to prevent excessive puffing.

4. 4

   Cover the pastry with another sheet of parchment paper and place another baking tray on top to keep them flat. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Let them cool completely.

5. 5

   Place the first layer of puff pastry on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of pastry cream (about 20g) evenly over the pastry.

6. 6

   Add the second layer of puff pastry. Spread a thin layer of raspberry jam (about 10g) and scatter a few fresh raspberries (about 10g) on top.

7. 7

   Repeat the layering process: third layer with pastry cream (20g), fourth layer with raspberry jam (10g) and raspberries (10g), and finish with the fifth layer of puff pastry.

8. 8

   Dust the top layer generously with powdered sugar (50g) using a fine sieve.

9. 9

   Chill the assembled mille-feuille in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.

10. 10

    Slice carefully with a sharp knife and serve immediately. Enjoy your French 5 Layer Mille-Feuille Delight!
