Strawberry Dream in a Layered Glass: Crispy Mille-Feuille Reinterpreted

ADVERTISEMENT

1. Bake the puff pastry (the "mille-feuille" element):
Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).

Cut the puff pastry into small squares or shards.

Place on a baking sheet, prick with a fork, and sprinkle lightly with sugar.

Bake for 10–15 minutes until golden and crisp.

Let cool completely. Break into pieces if needed.

2. Prepare the cream:
Whip the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.

Optionally fold in some mascarpone or crème fraîche for richness.

3. Prep the strawberries:
Toss sliced strawberries with a bit of sugar and lemon juice if using.

Let sit for 5–10 minutes to release their natural juices.

🍨 Assemble the layered glass (like a parfait):
In a clear glass or dessert cup, layer in this order:

Crushed puff pastry pieces (crispy base)

A spoonful of cream

A spoonful of macerated strawberries

Repeat 2–3 layers, ending with strawberries and a few pastry shards on top for crunch

Optional garnish: Mint leaf, white chocolate shavings, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
