For the cream filling

  • 400 g milk

  • Seeds of 1 vanilla bean

 

Preparation

  • Spread out the puff pastry dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and dock it (prick it all over with a fork).
  • Sprinkle the sugar on the dough evenly and bake it for 30 minutes at 160 °C fan until it is golden brown.
  • Turn over the dough and bake until the other side turns a golden brown color as well.
  • Take out the dough and turn oven heat up to 220 °C.
  • Sprinkle the dough with icing sugar and bake again until the sugar has caramelized. Then allow it to cool.
  • For the cream filling, heat the milk with the cream, sugar, and vanilla seeds.
  • Mix the egg yolks and the corn starch, at first stirring in just a dash of the hot milk-cream mixture and then continuing with the rest.
  • Simmer until the mixture gets a pudding-like consistency.
  • Then take it off the burner and stir until cool, adding butter cubes and STROH. Refrigerate for about 2 hours.
  • For the mascarpone cream, whisk all ingredients until creamy.
  • Use a bread knife to cut the dough into 11 x 4 cm pieces.
  • For each serving, first take one piece with its caramelized side face-down and use a piping bag to apply the cream filling in an even layer (1 cm thick).
  • Then cover with a second piece and apply another layer of cream filling.
  • Finish the serving with another piece of pastry and decorate it with mascarpone cream.
