Last
Saturday, I was receiving some friends at my place, and, as a real sugar
addict, it was THE opportunity to make a good dessert. With the beginning of
spring, I really wanted to make something fresh, with fruits. I had already
tested this recipe and it was a real success !
The
original recipe indicated to use raspberries and
pomegranate as a garnish, but you can really adapt it and use the fruits that
you want. I chose to use strawberries! This recipe can be quite impressive (a
lot of steps) but don’t be afraid!
1. The yogourt and white chocolate custard:
You will need :
- 6 tbsp.
of white sugar
- 1 tbsp.
of cornstach
- 1 tbsp.
of all-purpose flour
- 1 egg and
1 egg yolk
- ½ tsp. of
vanilla extract (or more if you want)
- ½ cup of milk
- 2 oz of
white chocolate
- ½ cup of
yoghurt
Steps:
- Out of
heat, mix the sugar, the cornstarch and the flour.
- Add the
eggs and vanilla extract and mix well. Add the milk to the mixture.
- Bring to
boil, stirring constantly to prevent a deposit to be created at the bottom of
the pan and burn.
- Once the
mixture thickens, remove from heat and add the white chocolate and stir until
the chocolate is completely melted, then add the yoghurt.
- Pour into
a bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
PS: To
prevent the cream to harden on the top, put a plastic wrap directly on the
custard.
2. The
whipped cream:
You will
need:
- 1 cup of 35 % cream
- 2 tbsp.
of white sugar
- ½ tsp. of
vanilla extract
Steps:
Whip the
cream with the sugar and the vanilla extract until the mixture is firm enough
to return the dishes without it falls.
3. The puff
pastry:
You will
need:
- approx. ½
lbs of puff pastry
- 1 tbsp. of 35% cream
- 1 tbsp.
of white sugar
Steps:
- Preheat
the oven to 400°F.
- Roll out
the dough and cut rectangles the size you want depending on the number of portions
that you want.
- Brush the
pastry with the cream and sprinkle with the sugar.
- Cook for
about 20 minutes, until the pastry is golden. Then let it cool completely.
4. Assembly:
- Cut the
pastry in half lengthwise and add the pastry cream, strawberries and whipped
cream on the bottom half.
- Cover
with the top half.
Et Voilà!
