Description

This Lemon Curd Mille-Feuille with Blueberries is a delightful French-inspired dessert featuring layers of crispy puff pastry, tangy lemon curd, fresh blueberries, and smooth whipped cream. Perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself to a refreshing citrus pastry, this elegant dessert balances flavors and textures beautifully.

Ingredients

Puff Pastry

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Fillings and Toppings

  • 1 cup prepared lemon curd
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly roll out the thawed puff pastry and cut it into 12 equal rectangles.
  2. Dock and Brush Pastry: Place the rectangles on the baking sheet, prick each all over with a fork to prevent puffing unevenly, and brush lightly with the prepared egg wash to achieve a golden finish.
  3. Bake Pastry Layers: Bake the pastry rectangles for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely before assembly.
  4. Whip Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating a smooth and airy whipped cream.
  5. Assemble Mille-Feuille: Start by placing one pastry rectangle on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of lemon curd over the pastry, add a small dollop of whipped cream, and scatter a few fresh blueberries on top.
  6. Repeat Layers: Top with a second pastry rectangle and repeat the layering of lemon curd, whipped cream, and blueberries. Finally, place the third pastry rectangle on top.
  7. Finish and Garnish: Dust the assembled mille-feuille with powdered sugar and garnish with extra fresh blueberries for a beautiful presentation.

Notes

  • For the cleanest layers, chill the assembled mille-feuille in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving.
  • You can substitute store-bought whipped topping to save time without compromising taste.
  • Adding lemon zest to the whipped cream can enhance the citrus flavor, complementing the lemon curd perfectly.
