Description
A delightful blend of flaky pastry and rich vanilla custard, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into squares. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the pastry squares for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Let them cool completely.
- Whisk together the whole milk, granulated sugar, and cornstarch over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add the egg yolks, whisking until thickened (about 5 to 7 minutes). Stir in the vanilla extract and let it cool slightly.
- Beat the heavy whipping cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.
- Cut the cooled pastry squares in half horizontally. Spoon the custard onto the bottom half and top with whipped cream before placing the top half back on.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
Ensure puff pastry is completely thawed for best texture. Can customize with flavors or fruits.
