Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
3 teaspoons sugar
2 egg yolks
⅓ cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
6 strawberries, sliced

Steps:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk the yolks and sugar until pale in color.
  • Add cornstarch and whisk well. Add the vanilla extract and milk. Whisk until well combined.
  • Loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for 4 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove plastic and stir.
  • Cover with a plastic wrap and chill at least 30 minutes.
  • Cut the thawed puff pastry into three equal-sized rectangles.
  • Pierce each piece of puff pastry with a fork.
  • Heat a nonstick pan over low heat. Place the puff pastry in the pan and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Flip the puff pastry sheets, and place a lid on the top of the pan. Cook for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar on sheet of puff pastry. Flip the pastry over so that the sugared side is on the bottom.
  • Bring the heat up to high. Place a piece of parchment paper over the puff pastry and weigh it down with another pan. Once the surface is caramelized, about 1-2 minutes, remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature on a cooling rack.
  • Place the custard in a piping bag fitting with an large round tip.
  • Pipe the custard on one sheet of puff pastry. Top with a layer of sliced strawberries, then pipe another row of custard. Top with another sheet of puff pastry, custard, sliced strawberries, custard, and the remaining puff pastry sheet.
  • Dust the top with powdered sugar.
  • Enjoy!
