🍓 Ingredients

Ingredients for puff pastry dessert: puff pastry sheets, milk, eggs, butter, sugar, flour, and vanilla extract arranged neatly on a countertop.

For the Pastry Cream:

  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk
  • 60 g granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp corn flour (cornstarch)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 40 g unsalted butter

For the Puff Pastry Desserts:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (you’ll only need half)
  • 1 egg (beaten, for brushing)
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Fresh blueberries
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

đŸ”„ Step-by-Step Instructions

1ïžâƒŁ 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.

2ïžâƒŁ 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.

3ïžâƒŁ 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.

4ïžâƒŁ 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.

5ïžâƒŁ Serve & Enjoy!

  • For the best flavor and texture, serve slightly chilled.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge, but these are best enjoyed fresh!
