Lay the first layer of pastry onto a cookie sheet, cutting board or in the bottom of a 9×9 baking pan with enough paper draping over two opposite sides to allow you to left the mille feuilles out of the pan when they are completely chilled.
Spread a thin layer of the whipped chocolate over the pastry. Place the raspberries in even rows, 1/8 inch or so apart over the entire surface of the pastry.
Spread enough of the whipped chocolate over the raspberries to completely cover them. You can use a piping bag for this purpose to make sure that the raspberries are completely enveloped in chocolate by piping it into the spaces between them.
Spread the chocolate just to the tops of the raspberries, removing any excess and making sure the raspberries at the edges are completely covered.
Add the next layer of pastry and repeat the process with the raspberries and whipped chocolate before adding the top layer of pastry. Use any excess whipped chocolate to fill any gaps around the edges and to smooth the sides. You don’t have to be too fussy about it at this point. The edges will be trimmed later.
Chill the mille feuilles for four hours or longer before cutting. Overnight is probably best to ensure clean cuts.
To prepare the chocolate ganache for the top.
Melt together the chocolate chips, whipping cream, and corn syrup until just at the melting point. Pour and spread evenly over the chilled mille feuilles.
Chill for another hour before cutting.
Trim all of the edges of the chilled mille feulles to expose the raspberries at the edges. ( the trimmings are the baker’s bonus!)
Cut the trimmed mille feille into 8 individual rectangles or 16 squares. Garnish with additional fresh raspberries and serve.
