Recipe below!

This is my take on a traditional mille feuille with a chocolate puff pastry and coffee chocolate pastry cream using @durosecoffee

Chocolate and coffee is one of my favorite combos, and I was a little nervous with how the cocoa powder would affect the dough, but it came out so light and flaky!

If you click the link in my bio, I have linked all the tools and coffee machine that I used as well as similar vintage bowls and plates and my outfits! Link is in my linktree in my bio☺️

Here’s the recipe – makes 4 mille feuilles
Chocolate Puff pastry
25 grams of unsalted butter melted
115 grams of plain flour
15 grams of cocoa powder
4 grams of salt
8 grams of sugar
60ml of water

125 grams of unsalted butter
-Melt the butter and pour over the rest of the other ing except the 125 grams of butter. Mix together till it forms a smooth bowl. Flatten and cover with plastic and place in fridge for 1 hour. Take the 125 grams of butter and flatten it in a parchment square about 12x12cm. Roll out dough to 12×24 cm and place butter in middle then fold over. Roll out dough to about 0.4cm thick then fold in 1/3 like a letter. Rotate dough and roll out again and do the same fold. Cover with plastic and put in fridge for 1 hour. Perform 2 more folds then place back in fridge for another hour, then do another 2 folds for a total of 6 folds. Place in fridge overnight.

The next day roll out dough to a 1-2mm thickness, place on tray, prick all over with fork then place in fridge while preheating the oven to 200C/400F. Before placing in oven, cover with parchment and a baking sheet or pan on top to ensure the dough bakes evenly and flat rather than wonky.
Bake for about 15 minutes, then remove parchment and tray and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
Let cool completely then trim off edges, and cut into 12 rectangles of about 4x11cm.
Coffee Pastry Cream
100 grams @durosecoffee
75 grams milk
20 grams butter
40 grams sugar
30 grams of egg yolk (about 2 eggs)
12 grams of cornstarch
12 grams flour
Pinch of salt
Dash of vanilla extract

About 50 – 100 grams of chocolate (depends on how chocolatey you’d like it and luse a 50% cacao chocolate)
150 grams of cream
-Bring milk and coffee to steam, pour over the rest of the already mixed ingredients, except butter. Put back on medium heat and whisk continuously till it thickens and bubbles. Take off heat and mix in butter and chopped chocolate. Cover with plastic and leave to cool. Whip cream to stiff peaks, then fold into the cooled pastry cream. Then put in piping bag.
Pipe in alternate layers of cut puff pastry and cream et voilà bon appétit!

    I imagine the scene in the movie Julie and Julia when she takes a bite in a restaurant and says “BUTTER!” Yes, I learned to eat butter when I lived in Paris and never looked back! Yum! 😋

    Thank you for sharing your life with us. I often watch your videos to relax at night at bedtime as they are so calm and peaceful! You somehow make the best of your small kitchen. Being a professional probably helps. I’m ashamed to complain about my kitchen now! Keep up the good work and I will look forward to more videos!
