Fast Desserts Recipes - Mixed Berry Millefeuille

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry, thawed

  • 150 g sour cream

  • 2 tablespoons soft brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons cream

  • 200 g mixed fresh or frozen berries

  • icing sugar, to dust


Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to moderately hot 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). Line a baking tray with baking paper.

  2. Cut the pastry sheet into eight 6 x 12 cm rectangles, place on the prepared tray and bake for 10 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and lightly golden. Set aside to cool. (If you lightly flatten the puffs with your hand, the cream will sit better.)

  3. Place the sour cream, soft brown sugar and cream in a bowl and beat until stiff  peaks form. Divide into four portions and spoon one portion each onto the flat side of four of the pastry puffs. Top with the mixed berries and cover with the four pastry tops, puffed side-up. Dust generously with icing sugar and serve immediately.

Note: Millefeuille is a French term that literally means a thousand leaves or a thousand sheets, which refers to the many layers of the puff pastry.

Hint: To save time on the day, you can make the pastry puffs ahead of time and store them in an airtight container so that they remain crisp.
