Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry Squares:

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed)

Vanilla Custard:

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Whipped Cream:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pastry: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet. Unfold puff pastry, roll out, and cut into squares. Bake until golden brown and puffed.
  2. Make the Vanilla Custard: In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, and cornstarch. Heat until thickened. Temper egg yolks, combine with milk mixture, and cook until thickened. Stir in vanilla, cool, and refrigerate.
  3. Whip the Cream: Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  4. Assemble the Squares: Spread custard on a pastry square, top with whipped cream, and sandwich with another pastry square. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  5. Finishing Touches (Optional): Dust assembled squares with powdered sugar or add desired toppings.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the custard is completely chilled before assembling the squares.
  • You can customize the squares by adding your favorite toppings or fillings.
