Assemble the millefeuilles

Place a pastry rectangle on a serving plate and, using a forcing bag, pipe a layer of chantilly (whipped cream).

Stage 9 - 2 min.

Stage 11 - 2 min.

...and finish with the last layer of pastry. Your first millefeuille is now ready. Assemble all the others in the same way.

Serve without delay (see below).
Remarks
It is always difficult to eat a millefeuille tidily. It tends to resist being cut with a spoon but, as this one has very thin pastry, cutting it is much easier.

You can use other fruits if you prefer (it is just as delicious with raspberries, for example), or even a different cream (confectioner's custard (crème pâtissière, or french pastry cream), chocolate mousse, pistachio cream...).

Millefeuilles do not keep well, as the cream ends up making the pastry soggy. They should be assembled at the last minute and eaten as soon as possible.
Keeping: Should be eaten immediately.
