no longer remember it. His birthday is coming up and I would love to make

a Napoleon but this dessert definitely tasted a lot different and it was

If anyone knows how to make this, I would love to have the recipe.

Thanks

Most of the millefueuille recipes I saw had puff pastry. This is the
only one I saw w/ graham crackers.

CANADIAN "MILLE FEUILLE"
2 pkgs. vanilla pudding (cook and serve); 1 (6 oz.) and 1 (3.4 oz.)
1 box graham crackers
1 pt. heavy whipping cream
6-8 oz. chocolate chips

Layer 9x13 Pyrex dish with graham crackers. Cook pudding according to
box directions. Slowly pour pudding over crackers. Cover pudding with
graham cracker layer. Beat whipping cream, then cover over graham
cracker. Melt chocolate chips, then sprinkle melted chocolate over
whipped cream. Chill 1-2 hours before serving

This is the simplest-looking recipe I saw that used puff pastry:

I love millefeuille, but can't say that I have ever seen one made with
graham crackers. Seems like an insult to the real thing. lol Maybe they
are unique to this restaurant that Carrie spoke of? The real thing is truly
wonderful.

Check out the menu and you won't be surprised that the thing they call
millefeuille is a cheap imitation of the real thing. The grill offerings consist
of limited to a New York Strip steak, portobello mushrooms or a the tender
chopped steak,made from ground beef. The three appetizers are soup of the day,
French Onion soup or a plate of battered and deep fried mushrooms and
vegetables. An imitation millefeuille would be right up their alley.

Yes, I agree. It must have just been a name they chose to call it. I
always picture real millefeuille made with puff pastry or similar flaky
pastry.

I think you missed the scroll bar. They also have filet mignon, rack of
lamb, rib steak, and prime rib.

All of the millefeuille recipes I saw using puff pastry looked very
good, but the graham cracker version (which doesn't even seem closely
related, except for the layering concept) looks tasty in a Taste-of-Home
kind of way. Chacun a son gout.

I don't doubt that it could be tasty. It sounds more like one of those no
bake style cheesecakes with the graham cracker crust than a millefeuille.
Pudding cake instead of a proper pastry cream, and a graham cracker crust
instead of puff pastry sounds very much in line for a steak house who serves
bar food appetizers and who offer minced steak on the menu. It sounds like a
steakhouse for those who cannot afford a steakhouse.

I have seen one. The bottom was constructed from a whole graham Crackers
layer. Then the Vanilla pudding and whipped cream filling. Then another
layer of grahan crackers. On top of the final layer of crackers was a
coating of melted chocolate chips. Now it was called Mel Foh...my
spelling is gramatic as I can't spell in English never mind French. So it
might not be what you want...

Served at Rotary functions, and possibly in one of that organizations
cookbooks.

I didn't make the comment about "a steakhouse for those who cannot
afford a steakhouse."

It's so not nice to trim the posts to attribute comments to someone
else.
