Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 20-30 minutes
Materials:
- 2 sheets of puff pastry (work with one at a time)
- 4 overflowing tbsp. flour (sifted)
- 4 tbsp. potato starch (sifted)
- 4 cups whole milk
- 3 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp. vanilla sugar or vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cups unsalted butter (softened at room temperature)
- Fruit of your choice
Process:
- In a medium sized sauce pan combine the milk, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, salt, flour and potato starch.
- Place over a medium/high flame and cook stirring constantly until mixture thickens into a pudding consistency.
- Remove from heat, transfer to a clean bowl and cover with plastic wrap making sure the plastic is touching/ directly over the pudding. Set aside to cool.
- In the meantime grease a muffin tin and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Working with one sheet of pastry at a time, place it on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut each sheet into 6 equal pieces. Place each piece into the muffin spaces. You may need to maneuver them so that they fit and cover the whole space.
- Bake until golden brown (about 15-20 minutes), remove from oven and using a small glass make an indent in the center (watch video for visual). Let cool completely.
- Once the custard is cooled using a hand held mixer start to whisk the mixture.
- Add in the softened butter and mix until incorporated and the custard is smooth and shiny.
- Scoop desired amount of custard into your cooled puff pastry shells.
- Top with desired fruit and let set for a few hours in the fridge.
- Plate and ENJOY!
