Ingredients

• 1 package Dairy-free puff pastry
• 500 ml Almond milk
• 50 g Cornstarch
• 100 g Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 Egg yolks
• 50 g Icing sugar
• 100 g Fresh berries (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Roll out the dairy-free puff pastry on a floured surface to a thickness of about 2mm. Cut into 9 equal rectangles.

Step 3

Place the pastry rectangles on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Prick them all over with a fork, cover with another sheet of parchment paper, and place another baking tray on top to prevent them from puffing too much.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, combine 400ml of almond milk and the granulated sugar. Set over medium heat and bring to a simmer.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining almond milk (100ml), cornstarch, and egg yolks until smooth.

Step 7

Once the milk is simmering, slowly whisk the egg mixture into the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the cream to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until completely cool.

Step 9

To assemble the millefeuille, place one puff pastry rectangle on a serving plate. Spread a layer of the chilled dairy-free vanilla pastry cream onto it. Repeat layering until you have three layers of pastry and cream, finishing with a pastry layer on top.

Step 10

Dust the top with icing sugar and garnish with fresh berries if using.

Step 11

Repeat for the remaining sets of pastry rectangles.

Step 12

Cut each assembled millefeuille into desired serving sizes and serve immediately.
