Mille-feuille cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Mille-feuille cake with raspberries at home? Prepare your ingredients. The fattier the sour cream, the tastier the cream will be. I have 10%. It also works great and is less caloric. Remove the dough from the freezer in advance to defrost. You can make your own homemade dough. You will find the recipes after the last step. Combine the sugar and yolk and stir until smooth. It will be more convenient to do this immediately in a saucepan rather than in a separate bowl.

2. STEP 2

   

   Stirring constantly, heat the mixture over low heat for 3-4 minutes until the sugar begins to dissolve.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sour cream and mix thoroughly until smooth.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add flour and vanillin to the cream and mix thoroughly. Cook the mixture over low heat for about 3-4 minutes until thickened. Vanillin can be replaced with vanilla. Read how to do this correctly in a separate article at the link after the recipe.

5. STEP 5

   

   The cream is ready when its consistency becomes thick enough and the groove from the spoon will be visible for a long time. This cream will keep its shape perfectly.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cover the cream with cling film in contact so that it does not have time to air out.

7. STEP 7

   

   Roll out the thawed puff pastry into a layer no more than two millimeters thick and cut into three strips lengthwise. The correct mille-feuille consists of exactly three layers of dough.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the dough on a preheated electric grill and fry for about 7 minutes on the sandwich program until golden brown. The exact time depends on the power of your appliance. Due to the fact that the dough is pre-rolled thin, it has time to quickly cook on the grill. Plus, since the electric grill grates press on the workpieces from both sides, the problem of excessive increase in puff pastry in volume is also solved.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the pieces on the grill at least 2 centimeters apart to prevent them from sticking together. Mine are a little stuck to each other. If you don’t have an electric grill, bake the dough at 200 degrees in the oven until golden brown. The pieces should not rise much during baking. Therefore, place a sheet of parchment on top of the dough and press it down with another baking sheet, for example.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the cooled custard into a piping bag. The tip cut is one centimeter. Assemble the cake on a serving platter. Spread half of the cream onto the first layer of dough.

11. STEP 11

    

    Lightly press the raspberries into the cream. Next, add another layer of dough and spread the second half of the cream and raspberries. Place the last layer of dough on top. Decorate the cake before serving with a few raspberries, powdered sugar and any nut shavings. I have almond shavings. The layers should not have time to soak in the cream, so assemble the cake just before the guests arrive. Bon appetit!

UnicornSteak, thank you for this amazing cake! I finally got around to this recipe! And all because I had a lot of cream cheese, I made so many rolls with it that they simply didn’t fit anymore. I couldn’t figure out where else to use the remaining cheese, and suddenly, by chance, I came across this recipe. It has been in my cookbook for a very long time, but somehow I never got around to it. And then it happened. I followed the recipe exactly, only replacing sour cream with soft cream cheese and raspberries with strawberries (there were simply no raspberries in the store that evening, so I took small-sized strawberries, since large ones would have to be cut, and I wanted to put whole berries in the cake, as in original). And I didn’t regret it at all! The cake turned out to be very creamy, tender and at the same time crispy! This recipe has many advantages. Firstly, the originality of the recipe itself. The fact that it is baked on the grill is not only very interesting, beautiful, unusual, but also convenient. After all, as the author of this recipe wrote, the electric grill grates press on the dough pieces from both sides, and thereby solve the problem of excessive increase in puff pastry in volume. And this is very important. Secondly, this is a cake that cooks very quickly, unlike others, which sometimes take two days. But at the same time, it is not inferior to them in appearance, it looks simply magnificent, very festive and tender. Thirdly, it is quite filling, so a small portion will be enough to fill you up. Fourthly, it is moderately sweet. I don't like it too creamy, so that's a plus for me. The berries also highlight the sweetness well. The only thing I didn’t like a little was that when cutting, the puff pastry crumbles, the cream smears the puff pastries and the pieces don’t turn out so neat. This, of course, does not affect the taste in any way, but cut mille-feuille when serving loses its attractive appearance. So, the next time I prepare this French masterpiece, I will try to make portioned cakes rather than a cake.

Exactly, the grill is a great idea - the look and taste will be much more interesting than just cooking it in the oven! Live forever, learn forever, life is rapidly changing with new technology! Thank you for such a wonderful and simple option!!
