Ingredients (Makes 16 servings)
- 2 sheets reduced-fat puff pastry (336 grams)
- 3 cups reduced-fat milk of choice (750 mls)
- 4 tsp powdered gelatine (16 grams)
- 1/4 cup cornflour (30 grams)
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar (96 grams)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (5 mls)
- 4 egg yolks (80 grams)
Method
- Preheat oven to 180C / gas mark 4 and line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Place one pastry sheet on each tray and brush each with a teaspoon of milk. Bake for 20 minutes, keeping an eye on it after 10 minutes, in case it’s golden and baked early. Baking time will depend on your oven.
- Remove from the oven, top with a baking tray to reduce the “puff” of the pastry and set aside to cool.
- Add the powdered gelatine to 1⁄2 cup of cold milk and set aside for 5 minutes.
- Combine cornflour with another 1⁄2 cup of cold milk, stirring until dissolved. Place the remaining milk in a saucepan with the sugar and vanilla extract. Heat over medium-high heat, until hot.
- Add the cornflour mix to the hot milk in the saucepan, stirring to combine. Add the gelatine mix to the saucepan and combine well. Place the egg yolks into a bowl and gently whisk. Pour the hot milk mix over the top and stir to combine.
- Return the mix to the saucepan over a medium-high heat and whisk for a further 4-5 minutes to thicken, until it coats the back of a wooden spoon. You want the consistency to be like a thick custard so it will set properly.
- Place one of the cooked pastry sheets into a deep baking dish. Pour over the custard mix and top with the remaining pastry sheet. Place in the fridge to set overnight. Use a serrated knife to slice into 16 pieces. One piece is one serve. Leftovers can be stored, covered in the fridge for 3-4 days.
