Puff Pastry Layer:
1 pound (about 450g) puff pastry
1 cup confectioner's sugar
The Pastry Cream:
4 cups (950 ml) whole milk
1/2 cup (80g) cornstarch
1 and 1/2 cups (375g) granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 egg yolks
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
Whipped Cream:
1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Optional Fillings:
Sliced strawberries
banana slices
berries
caramel
grated chocolate
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C.
Prepare the Pastry Cream:
Combine the milk, half of the sugar, and the salt in a saucepan and cook it over medium heat until steaming hot. Combine the egg yolks, remaining sugar, cream, and cornstarch in a bowl and whisk together until smooth. Add the hot milk to the egg mixture and whisk together. Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook over medium heat while whisking it comstantly until thickened. Pass the cream through a strainer that has been set over a large bowl. Cover the cream with plastic to prevent a skin from forming and set aside to cool.
The pastry cream can be chilled in the refrigerator up to 2 days. Whisk it together until smooth before spreading it on top of the cake.
Bake the Puff Pastry:
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the puff pastry on top. Pierce the puff pastry with a fork and lightly dust with confectioner's sugar. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Once the puff pastry has cooled, crumble it into a large bowl or tray. The center of the puff pastry might still be soft and leathery. Bake it for an additional 10 minutes and then once it has cooled, crumble it into the same pan.
Make the Whipped Cream:
Combine all of the whipped cream ingredients in a large bowl and whisk on high speed until thick and fluffy.
Assemble the Pastry:
Whisk the pastry cream to lighten it up and make it smooth. Fold in the whipped cream.
Place half of the puff pastry chards in a 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Dust the top with a generous amount of confectioner's sugar. Top with cinnamon or sliced fruits if desired.
Dollop the vanilla cream over the top of the puff pastry layer and spread it evenly.
Top with the remaining puff pastry chards and dust with confectioner's sugar.
Serve with Greek coffee. Kali Orexi!
Make Individual Trifles:
Layer the puff pastry, confectioner's sugar, and vanilla cream the same way as in the pie, into trifle bowls or into glasses.
Notes
Make ahead instructions: The puff pastry can be baked and crumbled 2 days ahead of time and stored in an air-tight container at room temperature.
The pastry cream can be made 2-3 days ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Add the shipped cream the day you will be serving the dessert.
This pastry tastes best the day it is made but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Oh my gosh this looks amazing!!! Our favorite pie growing up that my mother made was the Almond Cream Pie out of the old Betty Crocker cookbook. This reminds me so much of it except for vanilla instead of almond extract. I am so trying this!
This dessert is definitely my favorite!! I hope you love it too :)

Brilliant! Napoleons are my daughter’s favourite dessert. The bakery where we buy them has recently closed due to retirement. This is an easy replication for me to make for her birthday each year in December. Thank you!
You are just the sweetest person and such a pleasure to watch. Hello from Australia and thank-you for generously sharing.
Thank you so much!
Millefeuille 👍🏻...mille=thousand...feuille=leaves
Indeed!! So many flaky layers of goodness :)
This is such an incredibly delicious dessert! Dimitra's recipe is now my 'go to" for the Easter, Xmas and any celebratory table. Everyone loves it!!! Thanks heaps Dimitra! 💝😍
Can the crisped pieces of pastry stay on the counter or do they have to be refrigerated?.
Yum , of course because Greek is best in my opinion 🙏🏻🥰 I
It’s actually spelled “mille feuilles” which means “a thousand sheets”
GREAT! A Drizzle of chocolate will also work, no?
Yum, I love to watch you taste at the end. I know what you mean about traditional napoleon pastry not being so easy to eat.
My dinner party for this weekend will have this dessert 😊
Mille Feuilles, translates "One thousand sheets".
Do you make ahead and store in fridge ?
Such simple Ingredients and looks so delicious
Wow wow yummy x thanks
