Blueberry Mille-feuille

Cream Cakes

Servings: 8 · Time: 40 min · Difficulty: Medium

★ 5.0 (3)

• 1 Cup Puff Pastry Sheet
• 1 Cup Heavy Cream
• 0.5 Cup Mascarpone Cheese
• 0.5 Cup Powdered Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 2 Tablespoon Powdered Sugar
• 0.5 Cup Fresh Blueberries

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Roll out the puff pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Prick the dough all over with a fork to prevent uneven rising.
3. Place another sheet of parchment paper and a second baking tray on top of the pastry to keep it flat. Bake for 20 minutes.
4. Remove the top tray and parchment, sprinkle the pastry lightly with sugar, and bake for 5 more minutes until golden and caramelized. Let it cool completely.
5. Carefully cut the cooled pastry into equal-sized rectangles using a serrated knife.
6. In a large bowl, whisk the heavy cream, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form to create the cream filling.
7. To assemble, place one pastry rectangle down and pipe or spread a thick layer of the cream filling.
8. Place a second pastry rectangle on top and repeat with another layer of cream.
9. Top with the final pastry rectangle. Dust the top generously with powdered sugar.
10. Garnish with fresh blueberries and serve immediately for the best texture.
