Mille Feuille

This delicious mille feuille, or "thousand sheets" in French, is a classic dessert composed of three layers of light as air puff pastry filled with creamy vanilla pastry cream and topped with chocolate and vanilla icing. Depending on where you live they're also called vanilla slice or custard slice, and yes, the are very similar, but not identical to Napoleon pastries!
RECIPE: preppykitchen.com/mille-feuille/
These delicate pastries are a stunning addition to any table. The light and airy puff pastry is a perfect accompaniment to that rich creamy pastry cream.

@@bellabana the other two countries are myanmar and liberia but they use both imperial and metric system. they're slowly switching completely to metric system. the US has mentioned that they wanted to adopt the metric system back in 1975 but that never really worked out

One thing I love about you, John, is that you don't try to be "le chef parfait". You don't have a problem showing that you spill the icing on your hand, just like the rest of us. I feel relaxed when I watch your videos, like you're a friend who made it big and I'm wishing you well. I wish you and your family were my neighbors. ❤

Fun fact, I made this recipe at like 10 pm after a work day, and I added flour instead of sugar to the cream and you can imagine that the cream was not too creamy and had a strong flour taste. I came here to leave a comment and "warn people" that maybe the grams are not correct or something is wrong with your recipe 😂. but thankfully I opened your blog and saw that there should've been sugar 🤦...

I am sitting here watching this gorgeous video on a 72" screen and drooling all over the place! OMG, I have only been able to enjoy sitting down to eat one of these masterpieces of pastry artistry, and that was in a lovely little French Boulangerie in Colorado. I can still taste the delicious filling and the mix of white and dark chocolate with the flakey pastry that was a nightmare to cut lolol. I don't know that I have the patience to attempt to make myself this same creation, but I am going to find a partner in the kitchen that can help make this happen at least once in my life. Thank you for showing us your craft with such enthusiasm and honesty, telling us the entire time that it's 'EASY' to prepare, just follow each step carefully and don't rush....great advice!!! Now where is my drool bucket before I drown in my own juices from this video. You did GREAT!

[@lyudmilasoul9256]

You really think it's easy? Have you tried it out? Have you done the puff pastry yourself too? (To make it even easier than it seems) 😉

[@DanliciousFood]

@@lyudmilasoul9256 Hahaha he used store bought puff pastry though didn't he 😛. Oh I know puff pastry is very labor intensive with all the layer making... If I ever do make this from scratch, I'll use a shortcut method for it that grates frozen butter into the flour, and creates pockets of steam when it bakes to make the layers. Kind of similar to pie crust. Although not exactly the same but I think it would work well enough hopefully! 😊

I love to entertain my friends. I will make everything ahead of that day and then assemble it a few minutes before dessert. Everything stays fresh, and crisp , but I still have my sanity. I do make the tops (with the feathered icing) beforehand. I have the pastry cream in a bag in the fridge. The puff pastry is in an air tight container- all I have to do is pipe and assemble. I dismiss myself for 5-10minutes to prep before serving. People think you spend forever making them... because they look beautiful. I like to make chocolate icing and use white chocolate for a reverse effect. Both look beautiful (and if you are extra... adding edible gold to the white icing looks stunning). I love these recipes/videos that I can send to friends.
