• Salt — one pinch;
• Vanilla sugar — 16 g;
• Starch — 40 g;
• Milk — 600 ml;

How to make

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, mix the egg yolks, sugar, salt, vanilla sugar, and starch. Pour in the milk and mix well. Cook the cream over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens.

Remove from heat and immediately add butter, mixing until smooth. Break the puff pastry into pieces with your hands. Alternating layers of cream and cookies, fill glasses or bowls to the top.

Finish with a layer of cream and sprinkle with crushed cookie crumbs. Put in the fridge for one hour to allow the flavors to blend.
