Ingredients

• 3 sheets (10x15 inches each) Puff pastry sheets
• 500 ml Whole milk
• 50 g Cornstarch
• 250 ml Unsweetened almond milk
• 100 g Granulated erythritol
• 6 Egg yolks
• 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
• 50 g Butter
• 30 g Sugar-free powdered sweetener
• 30 g Sugar-free dark chocolate
• 1 tsp Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Bake each puff pastry sheet between two baking trays to keep them flat. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool completely.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, unsweetened almond milk, granulated erythritol, and cornstarch.

Step 4

Add the egg yolks and whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to boil.

Step 6

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Transfer the custard to a bowl, cover with cling film directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 8

Once the custard has cooled, whisk it to smooth out any lumps.

Step 9

Place one baked puff pastry sheet on a serving plate, spreading half of the cold custard over it evenly.

Step 10

Place the second puff pastry sheet on top and spread the remaining custard.

Step 11

Top with the third puff pastry sheet.

Step 12

For the glaze, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate with water in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Step 13

Sprinkle the top layer with sugar-free powdered sweetener.

Step 14

Drizzle the melted chocolate in thin, parallel lines over the top layer of the pastry.

Step 15

Using a knife, draw lines perpendicular to the chocolate lines to create a decorative pattern.

Step 16

Refrigerate the mille-feuille for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set.

Step 17

Cut into squares using a sharp knife and serve chilled.
