Raspberry Mille-Feuille Crumble
** Servings 8-10 **
Ingredients:
For the puff pastry:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg, beaten
For the raspberry filling:
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
For the crumble topping:
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Make the puff pastry: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until a dough forms. Gradually add the beaten egg and mix until the dough is smooth. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the puff pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled puff pastry to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm).
- Assemble the mille-feuille: Spread half of the rolled-out puff pastry with a layer of raspberry filling, leaving a 1-inch border around it.
- Add another layer of puff pastry: Place the other half of the puff pastry on top of the raspberry filling, pressing gently to seal the edges.
- Cut into rectangles: Cut the mille-feuille into rectangular pieces, about 3 inches (7.5 cm) long and 2 inches (5 cm) wide.
- Make the crumble topping: In a small mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, confectioners' sugar, and softened butter. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Top with crumble: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over each mille-feuille piece.
- Bake: Place the mille-feuille pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between each piece. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve warm: Serve the raspberry mille-feuille crumble warm, dusting it with confectioners' sugar if desired.
