🍃✨ Vegetarian Mille-Feuille – A Flaky, Creamy, and Elegant Pastry Tower Perfect for a Light Dessert or Special Occasions! 🍰🌿

Place the strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake according to package instructions (usually 15-20 minutes) until golden and crispy.
Once baked, let the pastry cool completely before assembling the mille-feuille.
2️⃣ Prepare the Cream Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
Whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the sweetness with more powdered sugar if needed.
3️⃣ Assemble the Mille-Feuille:
Once the puff pastry is cooled, carefully slice each strip horizontally in half to create 2 layers for each.
On the bottom layer of each strip, spread a generous spoonful of the cheese mixture.
Add a few mixed berries on top of the cream, and drizzle lightly with honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.
Place the second layer of puff pastry on top, pressing gently to create a sturdy “tower.”
4️⃣ Garnish and Serve:
Dust the top of the final layer with icing sugar for a decorative touch (optional).
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and extra berries for a pop of color.
Slice carefully and serve immediately, enjoying the crispy layers and creamy filling! 🍽️✨
💡 Pro Tip: For added depth of flavor, you can infuse the cream filling with a splash of rose water or orange blossom water for a floral note.
