Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse and hull the strawberries. Slice them thinly and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberries with 1/4 cup of the sugar (50g). Stir gently and let them macerate while you prepare the other components.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm). Make sure it's evenly rolled.
- Place the puff pastry on the lined baking sheet. Prick it all over with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much during baking.
- Sprinkle the top with a little sugar to give it a nice caramelization.
- Place another sheet of parchment paper on top of the puff pastry and add another baking sheet on top to weigh it down. This will keep the pastry layers thin and even.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once the pastry is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin powder in 1 tablespoon of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of the heavy whipping cream (57g) until it’s almost simmering. Remove from heat.
- Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot cream and stir until completely dissolved.
- Slowly whisk the gelatin mixture into the melted white chocolate until smooth and well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the remaining heavy whipping cream (173g) to soft peaks.
- In another bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolk with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar (50g) until it’s slightly thickened and pale.
- Fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped cream gently.
- Finally, fold the white chocolate mixture into the whipped cream mixture until everything is well combined and smooth. Refrigerate the cream for about 30 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Once the puff pastry is completely cooled, cut it into even rectangles or squares using a sharp knife.
- You will need 3 layers of pastry for each mille-feuille.
- Place a layer of puff pastry on a serving plate and spread a thin layer of white chocolate cream over it.
- Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the cream.
- Place another layer of puff pastry on top and repeat the layering with the cream and strawberries.
- Finish with a final layer of puff pastry.
- Optionally, dust the top layer with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted white chocolate for a beautiful finish.
- Chill the assembled mille-feuille for about an hour to let everything set.
- Cut and serve with extra strawberries on the side if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure the puff pastry is cold before baking to achieve maximum flakiness.
- When adding gelatin to the white chocolate cream, dissolve it first in a small amount of warm water to avoid lumps.
- Chill the white chocolate cream before assembling the mille-feuille for easier handling and better presentation.
- Use a sharp knife when slicing the strawberries to achieve clean, even slices.
- Assemble the mille-feuille just before serving to maintain the crispness of the puff pastry.
