Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Add Almonds and Sugar:

3. Bake the Puff Pastry:
- Bake in preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed.

4. Prepare the Cream Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. Whip until you get stiff peaks.
- Gently fold in the Greek yogurt until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
5. Assemble the Millefeuille:
- Once the puff pastry is completely cooled, take one piece of the puff pastry and spread a generous layer of the yogurt-cream mixture on top.
- Place another piece of puff pastry on top of the cream layer and gently press down.
- Repeat the layering process to create stacks (typically 3 layers of puff pastry and 2 layers of cream filling).
6. Garnish and Serve:
- If using, drizzle some passionfruit pulp over the top layer for added flavor and a decorative touch.
- Optional: Dust the top with a light sprinkling of powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
