Raspberries Macerated in Wine Mille Feuille with a Lemon Chantilly Creme
- 1 to 2 tablespoons bench flour
- 1 sheet puff pastry at room temperature and covered with a damp cloth
- 1 lightly beaten egg white
- 1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup sweet Marsala wine
- 1/4 cup limoncello, or orange liqueur
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 vanilla bean, scraped
- 2 (6-ounce) packages raspberries, rinsed clean
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
- 3 lemons
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon limoncello
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Sprinkle a small amount of flour on a dry work surface.
- Place the puff pastry on the counter, and using a rolling pin or dowel, roll the puff pastry sheet to a 1/8-inch thickness.
- Using a 3-inch round cutter dipped in flour, cut the puff pastry into 8 circles.
- Place the puff pastry rounds on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
- Lightly brush the rounds with the egg white.
- Combine 1 teaspoon of the sugar with the cinnamon to make a cinnamon sugar.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly amongst the 8 puff pastry rounds and cover with another sheet of parchment paper.
- Lay a second sheet pan on top of the first and place the sheet pans in the oven.
- Bake the pastry rounds for 30 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- In a 1-quart saucepan, combine the Marsala, 1/4 cup of limoncello, lemon juice, vanilla bean, and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
- Bring the pan to a boil over a medium-high heat and reduce the liquid to a light syrupy consistency, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Once the liquid has reduced, strain the syrup and pour over the raspberries.
- Toss to evenly coat the raspberries and set aside in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- For the Candied Lemon Zest: Remove zest from the lemons with a vegetable peeler.
- Cut lemon zest into 1-inch by 1/8-inch pieces.
- Add zest to a pot of boiling water and blanch for 5 minutes.
- Combine 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil and boil until sugar dissolves.
- Add the blanched lemon zest to the simple syrup and remove from the heat and let steep for 10 minutes.
- Remove the zest from the syrup and lay out onto a rack set over a half sheet pan.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
- For the Chantilly Cream: Combine the heavy cream, 1 tablespoon limoncello and remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar in a medium-sized mixing bowl and beat with a whisk until stiff, about 5 minutes.
- Assembly: place a small dot of whipped cream in the center of a medium-sized plate and place a pastry round on top of the whipped cream.
- Repeat this process with three other plates, and then top each round with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Reserve a 1/4 cup of the raspberries, and divide the remaining raspberries evenly amongst the four pastry rounds.
- Place another pastry round on top of the raspberries, and then a small dollop of whipped cream on top of the pastry round.
- Use the remaining 1/4 cup of raspberries as garnish on top of the mille feuille, and dust the tops with confectioners' sugar and garnish with candied lemon peel.
- Serve immediately.
