The origins of mille-feuille date back to the 17th century in France, and it is also known as "Napoleon". The name "mille-feuille" means "a thousand layers" in French, due to its numerous layers of crisp puff pastry. This delightful dessert consists of three layers of pastry separated by two layers of creamy custard or whipped cream, and it is topped with powdered sugar or melted chocolate. Mille-feuille exemplifies the craftsmanship of French patisserie, symbolizing elegance and refined taste.
