Bake the puff pastry between two trays in a 200°C oven for 15 minutes.
Whisk the milk, egg yolks, sugar and starch in a pot.
Cook the custard over medium heat for 8 minutes, until thickened.
Add the vanilla after removing from the heat so its aroma does not fade.
Spread the custard between the puff pastry layers and close with the top layer.
Chill the dessert for 3 hours so the custard does not run when sliced.
Dust with powdered sugar and cut into squares with a serrated knife.
💡 Tip: Cutting the dessert before the custard is fully cold makes the layers slide out.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold with powdered sugar dusted over the top.
