Last night I made a flaky! I did not know that was what it was going to be when I started but that is exactly what it tasted like! I rolled out my puff pastry and cut it into strips about 3 inches wide. I baked these off, cooled them and sliced them in two longways.
I made a pastry cream and mixed it with whipped cream.(cream mousseline)
I spread some on the bottom layer of the puff pastry and topped it with a thin layer of cooked blueberries and their juice. I then put another thin layer of cream mousseline. And topped it with the top layer of puff pastry. Man these were really good!
Pastry Cream
250 ml milk
65 grams sugar
1 egg yolk
1 whole egg
20 grams cornstarch
15 grams butter
2 ml vanilla
In a heavy saucepan combine milk and sugar. Bring to a simmer.
In a bowl whisk cornstarch and add in eggs, whip until smooth. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and bring back to a boil, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Pour into a clean bowl and chill.
Once cool slowly fold whipped cream into the pastry cream. And voila......Cream Mousseline!
