Delectable treat, easy way to bring joy to the whole family.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 tbsp white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 packs of frozen puff pastry sheet
- 1 lb blueberries, strawberries or raspberries
Directions
Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Heat the whipping cream in a small pot on low heat until hot but not boiling. In a mixing bowl beat 2 egg yolks with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. When the cream is heated, pour the cream slowly into the egg mixture, and mix until combined.
Step 2
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or a muffin pan. Place the pan into a larger heatproof pan filled with water halfway. Bake the custard on the water bath for 15-17 minutes until it thickens. Remove from the oven and let cool in room temperature or fridge. Keep the oven on at 350 degrees.
Step 3
Roll the pastry sheet until desired thickness and cut into squares. Use the remaining 2 yolks to brush the edges of the squares, for pleasant color. Place the squares in the oven for 20-25 minutes, depending on thickness of the dough.
Step 4
When the dough is ready, remove it from the oven and cut the first 1-2 layers of the dough from the center to make space for the filling.
Step 5
Add a spoonful of the custard filling in the center of the square. Add berries on top of the custard. Repeat with all pieces. Serve cooled to room temperature or refrigerated.
