Mille-Feuille au chocolat

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

vanilla extract

🥗Healthier: vanilla bean

💰Cheaper: imitation vanilla

Vanilla bean offers a more intense flavor, while imitation is budget-friendly.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

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

pastry cream

🥗Healthier: silken tofu

💰Cheaper: custard mix

Silken tofu provides a creamy texture with fewer calories.

Prepare a rectangular puff pastry and bake it until golden brown.

In a bowl, mix the egg yolks, sugar, and maizena until smooth.

In a saucepan, heat the milk with the vanilla sugar until just boiling.

Pour the hot milk into the egg mixture while whisking to temper the eggs.

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and add the butter and chopped chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth.

Assemble the mille-feuille by layering the puff pastry with the chocolate cream and dust with cocoa powder.
