Ingredients

For the Custard

• 1½ cups milk
• 1 egg yolk
• 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Layers

• 1 package puff pastry, baked until golden and crushed into pieces
• 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for toasting the pastry crumbs)

Optional Toppings

• Powdered sugar
• Fresh berries
• Crushed puff pastry crumbs

Directions

Bake the puff pastry according to the package directions until golden brown, then allow it to cool before crushing it into bite-sized pieces or coarse crumbs. If desired, melt the butter in a skillet and lightly toast the crumbs for extra richness and crunch. Meanwhile, whisk together the milk, egg yolk, sugar, and flour in a saucepan until smooth. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens into a creamy custard. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and let it cool slightly. To assemble, spoon a layer of puff pastry crumbs into serving glasses, add a layer of warm custard, and repeat until the glasses are full, finishing with a layer of custard. Sprinkle the tops with extra pastry crumbs and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.
