4
Prick the pastry and chill for 10 minutes in the freezer or 20 in the fridge

In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the powdered sugar, mascarpone, cream and vanilla seeds and whisk until soft peaks form

To assemble: Place a dab of the whipped cream on the serving plate to anchor the mille-feuille
12
Place one piece of pastry onto the plate glaze-side down
13
Spoon over half of the whipped cream, smoothing out the top

Arrange half of the fresh raspberries on top of the cream in rows, then top with another sheet of pastry, again glaze-side down

Top the second sheet of pastry with the remaining cream and raspberries
