Ingredients: custard, whipped cream, flour, salt, strawberries, biscuits, etc.

Instructions: Mix whipped cream, flour, salt, and water to form a dough. Roll it out and bake until cooked, which completes the pie crust. Custard and whipped cream can be used as the filling. Layer the pie crust, biscuits, filling, and sliced strawberries in order to complete the dessert.

Scene 1: The sugar glaze creates height, while the vanilla sauce adds contrast.

Since the strawberry mille-feuille is quite large, we chose this wide brown plate to accompany it. Visually, the brown plate forms a striking contrast with the ingredients.

Plating Techniques

①Pour the white vanilla sauce onto the plate and spread it evenly in a circular shape using a spoon. Place the strawberry mille-feuille pastry in the center of the vanilla sauce circle.

②Slice fresh strawberries in half and arrange them overlapping on both sides of the mille-feuille pastry.

③Lastly, place a white sugar ring as the focal point of the plating.

Plating tip: To make the sugar ring, heat sugar syrup to 160°C, then let it cool to around 120°C before shaping. If not consumed immediately, refrigerate it right away. In high humidity, unrefrigerated sugar rings can easily collapse, losing their form.

Scene 2: Cutting for volume, creating a sense of abundance on a small plate

Using a small dish can still create a rich, full presentation. Cut the square mille-feuille pastry diagonally into two equally-sized triangles. This reduces the visual pressure on a small round plate and makes the pastry easier to eat. You can also add cranberry sauce and chocolate cookie crumbs to the plate for extra color and texture!

Plating Techniques

①Drizzle cranberry sauce on a small plate, creating a line and playing with the shape of the sauce. Cut the strawberry mille-feuille pastry into two triangles and stack them together at an angle for a visually dynamic presentation. Sprinkle crushed chocolate cookies around the overlapping edges of the pastry. Scoop a spoonful of vanilla ice cream and place it on top of the pastry.

②Place a shaped caramel sugar piece next to the ice cream to complete the plating.
