Method

1. Mille Feuilles: Roll the puff pastry out on a floured work surface, so that it is 2-3mm thick and cut it into 18 rectangles 10cm x 5cm and place the on non stick baking trays. Set the puff pastry aside for 30 minutes to rest (to avoid shrinkage). Preheat an oven to 200°C. Place the puff pasty in the preheated oven for 20 minutes then reduce the temperature to 130°C and cook them for a further 10 minutes, until they are golden and crisp. Remove the mille-feuilles from the oven and allow to cool, store them in an air tight container until ready to use.
2. Fromage Frais Cream: Fold the fromage frais into the whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Rhubarb Compote: Place the rhubarb, sugar, and water in a saucepan over a moderate heat. Leave the rhubarb to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the rhubarb has broken down into a thick puree and the liquid has reduced. Remove the rhubarb from the heat and allow it to cool
4. Rhubarb Batons: Place the sugar and water in a saucepan and allow it to cook until the sugar has dissolved. Add the rhubarb batons and coat it in the sugar and allow it to cook for 3-5 minutes until just tender remove it from the heat and allow the rhubarb to cool.
5. To Serve: Place a puff pastry triangle out on each plate. Distribute a half of the cream on the puff pastry triangles followed by half of the rhubarb compote, place 2-3 rhubarb batons lengthwise across the width of the pastry so that they hang over. Top them with another layer of pastry and repeat this. To finish place a third layer of pastry on, dust it and the plate with icing sugar and place 2-3 rhubarb batons on lengthwise. Serve
