6Mille-Feuille

Also known as Napoleon, the mille-feuille is a dessert of layers—literally meaning “a thousand leaves.”

Alternating sheets of puff pastry and pastry cream are stacked into a decadent tower, often topped with powdered sugar or icing. The balance of crisp, flaky pastry with smooth cream makes each bite texturally delightful. While traditional versions stick to vanilla pastry cream, modern variations sometimes incorporate fruit or chocolate.
