Melon Millefeuille
Healthy, because
Even smarter
This is a unique, elegant way to enjoy melons, which contain nutrients such as potassium and beta-carotenes.
If you don't have ricotta on hand, substitute for cream cheese or sour cream.

- Ingredients
- 3 sheets frozen Puff pastry
- 1 slice Watermelon
- 1 slice honeydew melon

- 1 ½ Tbsps Vanilla sugar (depending on taste)

Kitchen utensils
Preparation steps
Lay the puff pastry sheets side by side to thaw. Then lay on top of each other and roll out to a thickness of 1/8". Cut out 8-12 circles approximately 3" in diameter. Place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, leaving a little space between them. Brush the pastry with ice-cold water and put into a preheated oven (425°F). Bake for about 15 minutes, until golden brown, then take out of the oven and cool on a cake rack.
Whip the cream with the vanilla sugar until very stiff and fold into the ricotta. Put the mixture into a piping bag with a plain nozzle and pipe over and between the melon balls. Put the remaining pastry circles on top, dust with icing sugar and serve immediately.
