Ingredients

  • Ingredients for croissants:
  • 1 can 6 ready to bake croissants
  • 2 Tbsp room temperature butter for parchment paper
  • Ingredients for custard:
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 4 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 8 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp cake flour
  • 2 2/3 cups milk
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • Powdered sugar to sprinkle before serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to180 C / 356 F.

  2. Open the croissant can and divide 6 triangles with a knife.

  3. Roll each croissant, starting at the widest end.

  4. Place croissants on parchment paper covered sheet pan and bake for 17 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.

  5. Once croissants are done, take them out of the oven and let cool completely.

  6. In medium sized pan, whisk yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, corn starch, cake flour, and milk and cook on medium heat, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Your cream needs to become thick. It takes 2 – 3 minutes of boiling.

  9. Once your ingredients are cool, start assembling in 7.5 x 7.5 inches pan.

  10. Cut croissants in halves horizontally and put lower parts of croissants to the bottom of your dish.

  11. Cover this layer with your crema pasticciera.

  12. Carefully finish your cake with arranging upper croissant slices ( cut side down ) over the cream. Store in the fridge.

  13. Cut 9 slices with a sharp knife and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
