🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Pastry Cream (Custard)

• In a saucepan, gently heat milk and vanilla extract over low heat until it starts to steam (don’t let it boil).
• In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until smooth. Stir in corn flour.
• Slowly add a ladle of warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
• Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens into a smooth custard.
• Stir in butter until fully melted and combined.
• Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressed directly onto the surface), and let cool completely.

2️⃣ Prepare the Puff Pastry

• Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Roll out half a sheet of puff pastry and cut into your preferred shapes (rectangles, circles, or squares).
• Brush the tops with beaten egg for a glossy golden finish.

3️⃣ Bake Until Golden & Crispy

• Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until puffed up and golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before decorating.

4️⃣ Assemble the Desserts

• Using a piping bag, add small dollops of pastry cream onto each piece of pastry.
• Top with fresh strawberries and blueberries.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
