Mille feuille

This mille feuille is so simple to make yet looks so impressive! You can use any flavour of jam in the middle. I use raspberry jam often instead of strawberry.

Ingredients (makes 8 slices)

1 sheet Puff pastry
1 cup Cream Whipped
1 heaped Tbsp Strawberry Jam
4 heaped Tbsp Icing sugar
Red Food colouring

Method

Cut puff pastry sheet in half and cook till golden.
On one layer of cooked pastry spread the strawberry Jam
Then spread the cream evenly over the top of the jam.
Put the other layer of pastry on top.
Mix in a bowl the icing sugar and add few drops of water at a time to get it to a consistency so it's spreadable (not runny). Smooth over top layer of cake.
With the left over icing add a few drops of food colouring and mix well. Pipe using a small nozzle about 8 lines like a text book page.
Using a toothtick feather the icing by pulling the toothpick one way towards you and then the other way - away from you and repeat the pattern till the top is feathered.
To cut slices use a sharp knife in hot water (same as you do for an ice cream scoop) and this will not ruin the icing pattern.

So easy but so effective as a treat and maybe on the side of some fresh strawberries love the pink icing

I want to make this but use chocolate icing on the top instead of the red food coloured icing. Yum.

I love the icing pattern on the top – you’re very clever and patient to do that. I’ll have to practice.
