mille-feuille

Mille-feuille, also known as a Napoleon, is a classic French pastry made up of layers of puff pastry and cream. Traditionally, it consists of three layers of crispy pastry alternating with layers of smooth pastry cream, often topped with a glaze or powdered sugar. The name "mille-feuille" translates to "a thousand leaves," reflecting the many flaky layers of the pastry. This dessert offers a delightful combination of textures: the crunch of the pastry and the cream's creamy richness, making it a popular choice in French patisserie and beyond.
