Ingredients
- 3 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
- 500 milliliters Skim milk
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 50 grams Icing sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the frozen puff pastry sheets on it. Prick them all over with a fork to prevent excessive puffing.
Step 3
Bake the puff pastry for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 4
In a medium saucepan, combine the skim milk and half of the sugar. Heat until it starts to simmer, then remove from heat.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix together the egg yolks, cornstarch, and the remaining sugar until smooth.
Step 6
Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously to temper the eggs, then return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat.
Step 7
Continue whisking the mixture until it thickens and starts to bubble. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the custard cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until firm, about 1-2 hours.
Step 8
Once the custard is set, spread a layer over the top of one baked puff pastry sheet. Top with another sheet, and spread another layer of custard. Finish with the last sheet of puff pastry.
Step 9
Dust the top with icing sugar and, if desired, score lightly with a knife to guide cutting into portions.
Step 10
Chill the assembled mille-feuille for at least 30 minutes to set before slicing and serving.
