The Alchemist's Mille-Feuille
This luxurious mille-feuille is a nod to the alchemical art of transforming simple ingredients into something extraordinary. The layers of flaky pastry are filled with a creamy, vanilla-infused pastry cream, and topped with a vibrant fruit compote that adds a touch of enchantment to each bite.

Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Mix the pastry ingredients together until a dough forms. Roll out the dough and cut into rectangles.
Step 3
Bake the pastry rectangles for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool.
Step 4
Make the pastry cream by heating the cream and sugar together until the sugar dissolves. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with cornstarch. Temper the egg mixture into the hot cream, then return to the stove and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and butter.
Step 5
Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold them into the pastry cream to lighten it.
Step 6
Spread the pastry cream on the cooled pastry rectangles and stack them to form the mille-feuille.
Step 7
Combine the berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan and cook until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Let it cool.
Step 8
Slice the mille-feuille into squares and top each with a dollop of the fruit compote.
Step 9
Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Chef's Tips
• Ensure the pastry cream is fully cooled before assembling the mille-feuille to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy
