Recipe:
- In a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, stir together 2 cups of milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon, and then bring to a boil.
- In a small mixing bowl, stir together the cornstarch and the other ¼ cup of milk, then mix well. Pour the mixture into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly. Whisk until the mixture thickens to a pudding / custard like consistency (~5 mins).
- Once the cream is thick, remove from the heat immediately and stir in the butter.
- Let it cool completely at room temperature, and then chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Roll out the dough over a piece of parchment paper and divide it into 12 equal rectangles. Poke holes with a fork all over the dough and transfer to a baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
- Using a paring knife, cut the puff pastry into three layers.
- Prepare a pastry bag or ziploc bag with cut corner and fill with the lemon cream.
- Place one layer of puff pastry on the serving plate, pipe a layer of cream, arrange the sliced strawberries, repeat the process again and place the third pastry layer. A classic mille-feuille has three layers of pastry and two layers of cream.
- Finally dust the top with confectioners sugar and a drizzle of strawberry coulis.
