Instructions
To Make the Vanilla Custard
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the milk and vanilla. Heat up over medium heat until hot.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and flour vigorously for 2-3 minutes, until light and smooth.
- Slowly drizzle the milk into the egg mixture while whisking, then pour back into the saucepan to place over medium heat. Whisk continuously for 3-4 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat.
- Transfer the vanilla custard back to the bowl to stir in the butter. Place plastic wrap over the top of custard to prevent it from forming a crust then place in the fridge to chill.
To Make the Puff Pastry
- Preheat oven to 400F. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper, then lightly dust with flour.
- Unroll the thawed puff pastry on the prepared pan.
- Score the edges with a knife to leave a ½” border. Poke the inside of the scored puff pastry with a fork, brush with an egg wash, then bake for 20-25 minutes, until deep golden.
- Let the puff pastry cool completely before layering with the vanilla custard and fresh berries.
- Enjoy with Klarbrunn Blueberry Passionfruit Sparkling Water for a complementary refreshment!
