Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry sheets frozen
- 2 cups milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions.
- Cut each pastry sheet into 3 equal pieces and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the pastry sheets in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up. Let them cool.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a custard-like consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool.

- Dust the top layer with powdered sugar before serving.
