RECIPE STEPS
1
Heat the oven to 200°C.
2
Finely roll out the puff pastry and cut out 3 rectangles.
Place them on sheets of parchment paper and prick them with a fork.
- 500 g puff pastry
3
Transfer the rectangles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet then cover with another sheet of paper and a heavy baking tray. This is to prevent the pastry from puffing up too much.
Gently turn the pastry over and cook the other side for about 5 minutes, until it is golden brown and the dough has dried out.
4
Meanwhile, prepare the crème pâtissière (pastry cream).
When the dough has cooked and cooled, spread the crème pâtissière on a first rectangular layer, then do the same with the second layer and assemble.
Finish with a layer of puff pastry and sprinkle with icing sugar.
5
Split the vanilla pod and scrape the seeds. Add the vanilla seeds and the ingredients to the metal bowl.
Run the program.

We really enjoyed this dessert. I used sheets of puff pastry which worked well.
