Creamy Custard Mille-Feuille Recipe
Ingredients:
Pastry:
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Custard Filling:
2 cups whole milk
½ cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Topping:
Powdered sugar for dusting
Cinnamon sugar (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out puff pastry and cut it into 3 equal rectangles. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden and crisp. Let cool.
2. In a saucepan, heat milk and sugar over medium heat until simmering. In a bowl, whisk cornstarch and egg yolks until smooth. Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
3. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring, until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and let cool. Fold in whipped cream to create a light custard.
4. Layer one pastry sheet, spread custard evenly, and repeat with the second layer. Top with the final pastry sheet.
5. Dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if desired. Slice and serve. Enjoy your delicate mille-feuille!
