butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a unique flavor.

💰Cheaper: custard mix

Silken tofu provides a creamy texture with fewer calories.

Prepare the pâte feuilletée (if not using store-bought).

Make the crème pâtissière by heating the milk with the vanilla pod. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and maizena until smooth. Slowly add the hot milk to the egg mixture, then return to the heat and cook until thickened. Stir in the butter and let it cool.

Assemble the millefeuille by layering the pâte feuilletée with the crème pâtissière.

Prepare the glaze by mixing the sugar glace with water and melting the chocolate. Pour over the assembled millefeuille.
