1

Roll and Cut the Puff Pastry

Start by lightly sprinkling flour on a clean surface. Roll out the thawed puff pastry into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Use a sharp knife or a pastry cutter to cut the pastry into three equal sections.

2

Twist and Bake the Pastry Layers

Take one section of the cut pastry and twist it gently a few times. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat the twisting process with the remaining two sections. Bake the twisted pastry layers in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.

3

Prepare the Creamy Filling

In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix. Transfer the whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.

4

Layer the Puff Pastry with Cream

Once the baked pastry layers have cooled, place the first twisted layer on a serving plate. Pipe a generous amount of whipped cream onto the layer, spreading it evenly. Repeat this process with the remaining layers, ending with a layer of whipped cream on top.

Add a Flavorful Twist

To give your Mille-Feuille a twist, sprinkle some grated dark chocolate, crushed nuts, or fresh berries on top. Get creative and let your taste buds guide you!
