Ingredient:
Makes about 5 servings
Caramel puffs
1 pound frozen puff pastry, defrosted
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Vanilla Pastry Cream
2 cups of milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornmeal
a little salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
fresh raspberries
Powdered sugar, to dust the top
Direction
1. Prepare the pastry cream. Beat egg yolks and sugar until slightly pale. Mix cornstarch and salt.
2. Pour the milk into the pot and bring to a boil. Pour about a third of the hot milk over the egg yolk mixture. Pour the entire mixture into a saucepan with the milk. Cook while stirring. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract.
3. Pour the cream into a clean bowl and let it cool for 10 minutes, then stir in the butter. Cover with cling film and press directly onto the surface of the ice cream to avoid skin forming on the surface. Place in the refrigerator until cooled.
4. Preheat oven to 330F (165C). Butter a sheet of baking paper and line with parchment.
5. On the coated surface, roll the puff pastry into a rectangle 1/10 inch (2mm) thick.
6. Use a rolling pin to transfer the dough to the prepared baking tray. Poke into the dough with a fork and cover with another sheet of parchment. Place another baking sheet on top so the dough doesn’t swell too much.
7. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
8. Preheat oven to 465F 240C.
9. To caramelize the cake, sprinkle about 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, a thin layer, over the baked cake. Bake for a few minutes using the grill until the sugar is melted.
10. Caramel the other side of the puff pastry.
11. When cooled, trim the edges and cut the puff pastry into 3 rectangles.
12. Assemble the feuille mille. Place a layer of caramel puffs on a serving plate. Pour the pastry cream into a 1/2 inch smooth round top pastry bag. Spread pastry cream on top and add raspberries. Place another layer of puff pastry on top of the filling. Add the pastry cream, raspberries, and a final layer of pastry.
13. Chill in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight before slicing. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
