Equipment
A medium-sized saucepan is ideal for preparing the cream. Make sure it has a thick bottom to evenly distribute heat.



You'll need a sturdy whisk to ensure the cream mixture is lump-free and smooth.



This will help you achieve a silky-smooth cream. If you don’t have one, a regular blender will work as well.



A silicone baking mat will prevent the pastries from sticking and ensure even baking.



Use this to apply the egg yolk on the pastries for that lovely golden-brown finish.



Variations
Faq
- How do I prevent my cream from clumping?
Make sure to whisk continuously while cooking the cream and blend it with an immersion blender for a smooth finish.
- Can I make the cream ahead of time?
Absolutely! The cream can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just give it a good stir before using.
- How can I keep the puff pastry crispy?
Ensure the pastries are completely cool before adding the cream. If assembled too early, the moisture from the cream can make the pastry soggy.
- Can I use store-bought puff pastry?
Yes, store-bought puff pastry works perfectly for this recipe and saves time. Just follow the package instructions for best results.
- What if I don’t have an immersion blender?
Use a regular blender or even a hand mixer to achieve a smooth cream.
- Can I freeze the finished pastries?
It's best to freeze the puff pastry before adding the cream. Once defrosted and crisped up in the oven, add the fresh cream before serving.
