The Mille Feuille.
For those of you who don’t know French, the name means ’ a thousand leaves’. This dessert usually has several layers of puff pastry with some type of mousse in the middle.
The Mille Feuille I had was from Le Boulanger de Monge and of course I opted for the chocolate rather than the vanilla. It looked so delicious in the window but when I brought it home, it didn’t live up to the image. It was the messiest dessert ever. I had to break out the vaccum after I was done… there was mille feuille everywhere!
The layers of pastry weren’t sweet at all and kind of tasted like what I’d imagine bark to taste like. However, with a little bit mousse included in the bite, the dessert wasn’t so bad. The tasteless bark worked with the chocolate mousse.
I’ll have to try another one from a different boulanger to see if I enjoy it better. Will keep you posted if I find one.
