FRENCH ORANGE CHOCOLATE MILLE FEUILLES

Today’s recipe I’ve taken reference of a Japanese dessert chef by whom he writes a new way to make chocolate mille feuilles for everything combined is a new experience for me and which makes me so excited. The chocolate mille feuilles are very crisp with a little salty flavor like soda biscuits.
