Sour Cream Chocolate and Raspberry Mille Feuille

Crisp and golden puff pastry is layered with a tangy chocolate pastry cream and fresh raspberries, then garnished with toasted almonds and shaved chocolate for an impressive and luscious plated dessert.

  • Yields: 12
  • Preparation: 35 minutes

Ingredients

Pastry

  • 2 lb (1Kg) puff pastry
  • 1/2 cup (125mL) icing sugar

Cream Filling

Assembly

  • 144 (24oz) raspberries
  • 1 1/2 cups (375mL) almonds, sliced natural and toasted
  • 4 oz (125mL) dark chocolate, shaved

Instructions

Pastry:
  1. Divide pastry into 3 portions. On work surface, roll out each portion into 12- x 9-inch (30 x 23 cm) rectangle. Place each sheet of pastry on parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Dust with icing sugar and top with parchment paper. Place another baking sheet on each piece of pastry.
  2. Bake, in batches, in 425°F (220°C) oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Let cool completely. Trim edges of each pastry sheet and cut each pastry sheet into twelve 4- x 3-inch rectangles. (Pastry can be layered between sheets of parchment paper in an airtight container, then refrigerated for up to 3 days.)
Cream Filling:
  1. Beat together cream, sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla until it holds stiff peaks; gently fold in sour cream. (Can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days.)
Assembly (per serving):
  1. Arrange three pastry rectangles on work surface. Spread 3 tbsp (45 mL) Cream Filling over each rectangle. Place 6 raspberries around edges of 2 pieces of pastry; place one on top of the other. Cap with remaining pastry with Cream Filling. Garnish with 2 tbsp (30 mL) sliced almonds and 1 tbsp (15 mL) shaved chocolate. Serve immediately.
  • For the best flavour and presentation, be sure to toast almond slices well.
