First attempt at a mille feuille and it wasn't terrible, but not the right consistency I wanted.If you haven't had a millef euille before, it is a pasty composed of thin layers of filo dough, with sweet cream oozing between the layers. DELICIOUS!
On my recent trip to Colombia (yes south america!) I found sugar free guava paste. Guava is a tropical rosy fruit that has this great salmon coloured flesh. It is often made into juices, but even more commonly made into a sweet candied paste, known as a "Bocadillo".
I was so happy to find a sugar free guava paste! After buying almost half a kilo, I decided to use this to make a slightly different mille feuille.
In terms of flavour, it was DELICIOUS!! And best of all, didn't taste like Splenda. The only problem is that the filo dough remained too flaky and "airy". Usually in a mille feuille the dough is denser. Perhaps I need to add more fat?
Here is the first picture.....will keep on working on it.
