Directions

  1. First, start with the cream. In a saucepan, heat the milk with the vanilla pod. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, place the egg yolks.
  2. Add the sugar to this container and whisk continuously for five minutes. Then, add the flour and mix carefully. Pour half of the warm milk into the container and mix well. ≈ 4 min
  3. Heat the remaining milk in the pot until it boils, remove the vanilla pod, then pour the contents of the container into the pot. Simmer for five minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Next, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F), and when it’s hot, place several rectangles of puff pastry on a baking sheet. Sprinkle a little sugar on each one to help it caramelize.
  5. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, then let cool.
  6. Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and cut them into slices. ≈ 8 min
  7. Cut the puff pastry in half, through the center. Fill a piping bag with cream and pipe a layer of cream onto each piece of pastry. Place the strawberry slices on top of the cream.
  8. If you have caramel sauce, add a little on top for an extra indulgent touch. ≈ 3 min
