Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Vanilla Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Assembly

  • 1 pint fresh raspberries
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the pastry into small, bite-sized rectangles around 1 inch by 2 inches. Place the rectangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet, prick all over with a fork to prevent excessive puffing, and sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar.
  2. Bake the Puff Pastry: Bake the pastry pieces for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crisp. Remove them from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack to preserve their crunch.
  3. Make the Vanilla Whipped Cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until soft peaks form, ensuring the cream remains light and airy without being overwhipped.
  4. Assemble the Mille-Feuille Cookies: Start with one puff pastry rectangle placed on a clean surface. Pipe or spoon small dollops of the vanilla whipped cream on top, leaving a bit of space for the cream to be visible. Add a second puff pastry rectangle on top of the cream, and repeat the whipped cream layer. Finish with a third puff pastry layer, add a final dollop of whipped cream, and top with 2-3 fresh raspberries. Garnish with a mint leaf if desired.
  5. Repeat and Serve: Assemble the rest of the cookies following the same layering process. Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp pastry with creamy filling and fresh fruit at their best.

Notes

  • For best results, keep the puff pastry and heavy cream chilled before using to ensure crispiness and whip volume.
  • You can substitute raspberries with other fresh berries like blueberries or strawberries based on preference and availability.
  • The cookies are best eaten the same day to preserve the texture of the puff pastry.
  • Make sure not to overwhip the cream to prevent it from turning buttery.
  • Mint leaves add a subtle freshness and lovely presentation but are optional.
