A raspberry mille feuille recipe enriched with the natural sweetness of Canadian maple syrup. A classic French dessert, this delicate pastry truly tastes as good as it looks.

Chef’s tips: Once baked, handle the pastry sheets with care as they break easily. If one happens to break, use it as the bottom slice.

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree — that’s all.
