Mille Feuille |Classic French Pastry

Mille Feuille is one of the most classic French Desserts. It combines a Flaky puff pastry with silky vanilla creme diplomat which makes for such a beautiful and elegant pastry. I really like making this dessert because its so light and perfect with a cup of warm coffee and it also reminds me of Paris!
