Take note
Be careful when working with puff pastry, as it can be delicate and easy to tear. Also, be sure to handle the hot pastry cream with caution to avoid burns.

1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Bake the puff pastry

Place the puff pastry sheets on the lined baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

3

Prepare the pastry cream

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the pastry cream cool for a few minutes.

Assemble the Mille-Feuille

Once the puff pastry sheets have cooled, cut them into rectangles of equal size. Place one rectangle on a serving plate and spread a generous layer of pastry cream on top. Repeat this layering process, ending with a puff pastry rectangle on top.
