Mille feuille, also known as Napoleon, is a classic French pastry that layers delicate puff pastry sheets with luxurious cream. Each bite offers a delightful contrast between the flaky, buttery pastry and the smooth, rich filling, typically vanilla-flavored.
This dessert is elegantly finished with a dusting of powdered sugar or a glazed icing often striped with chocolate. Making it at home can be an intricate process, but premade versions are a quick way to bring a touch of French sophistication to any meal. Serve it as a stunning finale to a dinner party or a special treat with afternoon tea.
