Ingredients

  • 40 g Puff pastry
  • 100 g Milk, whole
  • 20 g Egg yolks, raw
  • 20 g Sugar
  • 8 g Cornstarch
  • 1 g Vanilla extract
  • 40 g Cream, heavy

  1. Roll out the puff pastry thin, prick all over with a fork, and bake in two separate sheets at 200 C (400 F) for 12-15 minutes until golden and crisp; cool completely.
  2. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and cornstarch until smooth.
  3. Heat the milk until just below boiling, then slowly whisk it into the egg yolk mixture; return everything to the pan and cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens into a smooth custard. Stir in the vanilla and let cool completely.

  5. Place one pastry sheet in a dish, spread the cooled custard over it, then spread the whipped cream on top, and finish with the second pastry sheet.
