Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. Lay the phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. 3. Fold the phyllo dough into thirds and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy. 5. While the phyllo is baking, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. 6. Once the phyllo is cooled, gently layer it with whipped cream, creating a mille-feuille effect. 7. Garnish with edible gold leaf for an alchemical touch, if desired. 8. Serve immediately and enjoy the magical layers!
