The pastry is cut and layered with a cream that is flavored with fresh vanilla beans, orange zest, and an orange-flavored liqueur. If you have it, Grand Marnier liqueur is Gordon Ramsay approved. This gives a citrusy flavor to the cream and to the overall pastry.

This cream is just splendid when combined with a slightly caramelized puff pastry. Top the cream with fresh raspberries and you are ready to bite into a slice of crispy pastry heaven. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Gordon Ramsay calls it “a dessert to die for” if you don’t believe me. Let me tell you more about this recipe so you can make it and see for yourself what the hype is all about. But first, check out some other recipes from the Chef’s delight.

What Equipment Will You Need For Gordon Ramsay’s Millefeuille?

  • Non-Stick Baking Tray- You need the non-stick baking tray to bake the pastry. The non-stick part comes in when you don’t want the pastry to stick to the bottom.
  • Oven- The oven plays a part in ‘puffing’ the pastry and cooking it.
  • Whip- The whip is used to whip the cream a beat.
  • Spatula- You’ll find it earlier in the recipe that you can’t whip everything and need to fold a few ingredients. That’s when the spatula comes in handy.
  • Mixing Bowl- Gordon Ramsay’s uses a fancy bowl to whip the cream, but you can use a regular one.
  • Piping Bag- The piping bag will be used to layer the cream. You can use a plain nozzle with it.
  • Bread Knife- The bread knife is used to cut the pastry. I mean, you wouldn’t want to cut the pastry with a butcher’s knife, would you?
  • Sift- This little guy has a small role. It is used to dust the pastry with some icing sugar.

Grater- Use this to freshly grate the zest of the orange.

What Ingredients Will You Need For Gordon Ramsay’s Millefeuille?

  • Ready Rolled All-Butter Puff Pastry- Gordon Ramsay says in his recipe to buy a puff pastry. That’s what I think you should do as well. I mean, you can make your own pastry at home, but if Gordon tells you to buy it, I suggest you buy it.
  • Fresh Raspberries- You’ll also notice Gordon Ramsay uses the word ‘fresh’ quite frequently. It is because fresh ingredients like raspberries accentuate the flavor of the recipe to a whole new level.
  • Icing Sugar- Icing sugar will help you caramelize the pastry and to dress the millefeuille like a bride in white.
  • Orange- You don’t need the whole orange, just its zest. But I’ll recommend you eat the poor orange too.
  • Double Cream- The double cream just gives better texture, volume, and taste to the dish.
  • Orange Flavored Liqueur- The liqueur is used to accentuate the orange notes in the cream and also add a bit of depth. If you want to make it exactly like Gordon, use Grand Marnier.

Steps To Make Gordon Ramsay’s Millefeuille Recipe

1. Puff The Pastry

First, you need to lay the pastry dough on the baking tray and lightly dust the dough with icing sugar because you need a slightly caramelized pastry dough. Pop it in the oven and bake it until it puffs up.

2. Whip Up The Cream

While the pastry is ‘puffing up’, pour the cream into the mixing bowl. Now, add the vanilla seeds to the cream and use the whip that we talked about. Whip the cream until it has a thick and smooth consistency. Add freshly grated orange zest and a teensy bit of liqueur to it. Don’t whip it, rather fold them in.

3. Take Out The Knives

When the pastry is cooked, take it out and cut it using a bread knife. Now, the prep is all done. Let’s layer everything up.

4. Get, Set, Layer!

Pipe a dot of the cream on the serving plate. Start with a layer of puff pastry, then pipe three lines of the beautiful cream on top of it. Place the raspberries over the cream, 2×2. Then, place the puff pastry with the caramelized side down over the raspberries. Repeat the layering of cream and raspberries in the same fashion. The final layer will be your beautiful puff pastry. Dust this beautiful dessert with icing sugar and it’s ready!

How Will Your Recipe Look and Taste?

The millefeuille looks stunning. You can see the layers of the golden puff pastry and the raspberry gives a great hit of vivid red color to the dish. As far as taste is concerned, in Gordon Ramsay’s words, this dessert tastes “sensational.” You’ll get the crunch of the caramelized pasty. There are hints of orange zest and liqueur in the cream, along with the vanilla seeds. The fresh raspberries give a sweet and a bit tangy flavor. Everything comes together and gives you a balanced and sweet dessert.
