Millefoglie, also known as "Napoleon pastry," is a classic Italian dessert celebrated for its delicate, layered construction. The term "millefoglie" translates to "a thousand layers," referring to the crisp puff pastry sheets that alternate with creamy fillings—typically custard, pastry cream, or whipped cream. It’s often topped with powdered sugar, chocolate glaze, or fresh fruit for added indulgence. Originating in Italy, this dessert offers a harmonious blend of buttery richness and sweetness. While delicious, millefoglie is high in refined carbohydrates, sugar, and fats due to its pastry and cream components, making it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. The use of ingredients like fresh fruit can boost its nutritional value by adding vitamins and fiber. For a lighter variation, some recipes substitute traditional cream with lower-fat options or incorporate whole-grain alternatives in the pastry layers to enhance its health profile.
