Mille-Feuille Vegan

Mille-Feuille Vegan is a delightful plant-based take on the classic French pastry, featuring layers of flaky puff pastry, creamy vegan custard, and fresh fruits. It offers a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that will impress any dessert lover.

Ingredients

• Puff pastry sheets - 200 grams
• Almond milk - 250 ml
• Cornstarch - 30 grams
• Maple syrup - 40 grams
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Coconut cream - 100 grams
• Fresh strawberries - 100 grams
• Blueberries - 50 grams
• Icing sugar - for dusting

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Roll out the puff pastry sheets to a thickness of about 3 mm and cut them into rectangles (about 10 cm x 5 cm).
3. Place the pastry rectangles on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and prick them with a fork to prevent puffing.
4. Bake the puff pastry for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.
5. In a saucepan, combine the almond milk, cornstarch, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
6. Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly before folding in the coconut cream until well combined.
7. To assemble, take one piece of puff pastry, spread a layer of vegan custard on top, and add a layer of sliced strawberries.
8. Repeat the layers with another piece of puff pastry and custard, then top with a final piece of pastry.
9. Dust the top layer with icing sugar and garnish with blueberries.
10. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving for a chilled dessert.
