Hey everyone!
Today I will be showing you how to make a raspberry millefeuille, it looks quite hard and fiddly but it is a simple,easy and it only takes 30-45 minutes (depending on how good you are at making desserts!) This is the first time I made this dessert and I thought that it was going to fail and that I would mess it up so badly but, it actually turned out great!
You will need:
- 300ml of double cream
- 250g of raspberries
- 375g of ready rolled puff pastry
- Icing sugar to decorate
Step one: Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius (425 degrees Fahrenheit), Gas Mark 7. Line a large baking tray with non-stick baking paper, then unroll the pastry and place on the baking sheet (trim the pastry down if you need too). Prick the pastry all over with a fork. To prevent the pastry from rising put another piece of baking paper on top and then put a wire rack on it; when I tried to do this, my wire rack wouldn't fit inside the baking tray, so instead I put a slightly smaller baking tray on top of the pastry.
Step two: Put the pastry in the preheated oven for ten minutes. Using an oven glove, carefully take off the wire rack or baking tray and baking paper and turn over the pastry, put everything back on top and cook for a further five minutes or until it is golden brown. When it is done, take it out and place on a wire rack to cool, it should look something like this...
Step three: Whilst you are waiting for the pastry to cook or cool, lightly whip the double cream in a medium-large bowl using a hand help whisk until it is light but also thick, make sure you don't over whisk it.
Step four: Cut the pastry into three equal strips. Put one strip on a plate or chopping board and spread half of the cream on and place half the raspberries on. Use the rest of the cream and raspberries to do this for the second layer. Carefully pick up the second layer and put on top of the first, and then put the last plain slice of pastry on top of that. Dust with icing sugar for decoration.
In the end, your raspberry millefeuille should look something like this.
