Ingredients

Directions

Prepare the pastry

Pinch the puff pastry sheets with a fork to remove air pockets.
Bake the sheets in a very hot oven until they become yellow and brown.

Make the custard

Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
Beat the whites together with the sugar for whites to make whipped cream.
Beat the yolks with sugar, slowly adding 0.3 dl cold milk and then flour.
Boil the remaining milk with vanilla sugar, then very slowly add the yolks and mix continuously.
Place the mixture in a container over hot water (bain‑marie).
Cook for 10 minutes until the eggs harden.
When done, remove the pan and mix in the whipped cream.

Assemble and serve

Spread the hot mixture over the cold baked sheets.
Let it cool.
Beat the sweet cream with sugar and vanilla sugar, then spread over the mixture.
Cover with another baked sheet.
Cut into squares and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Puff pastry: Bakes into crisp, layered sheets that give the dessert its structure.
Eggs: Yolks thicken the custard as they cook, giving it a set, creamy texture.
Flour: Starch thickens the custard so it holds its shape when cooled.
Milk: Forms the liquid base of the custard, providing creaminess.
Sweet cream: Whipped into a topping that adds richness and a light, airy texture.
Sugar: Sweetens the custard and helps the whites whip into a stable foam.

The step that matters

Cooking the custard over water. Egg yolks thicken as they heat but can scramble if overheated. Cooking gently over hot water and stirring constantly keeps the custard smooth and evenly set.
