💡 What's interesting
The name 'mille-feuille' means 'a thousand leaves' in French, referring to the many flaky layers of pastry, which require precise lamination technique to achieve. Nutritionally, the addition of raspberries provides a tart contrast and a boost of antioxidants, making it a slightly more vibrant version of the traditional vanilla or chocolate-filled dessert.
