- for the cream
- 500 milliliters of milk
- 4 units of egg yolks
- 40 grams of cornmeal (Maicena)
- 100 grams of sugar (½ cup)
- 1 dessert spoon of vanilla aroma
How to make Cream Strudel:
- We will put the oven to heat at 200ºC. We will have the puff pastry in the fridge, it must be very cold.
- Next, we separate the whites from the yolks. In a saucepan that can be put on the fire, we will put the milk, the egg yolks, the sugar, the teaspoon of vanilla aroma and the cornmeal (cornstarch).
- With a few rods we will beat well until everything is well integrated and the cornmeal is all dissolved in the milk.
- Next, we must heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring everything well until the cream begins to thicken.
- When the cream begins to thicken, let it boil for a few seconds, set aside and continue stirring so that it is a fine cream without lumps.
- Let the cream warm until it is cold.
- Once it is colder, we cover the cream with a sheet of transparent film, the plastic sheet must be stuck to the cream so that it does not get air and a hard crust forms.
- Next, we put the cream in the fridge until it is very cold. The cream can be made in advance.
- Next, we prepare the puff pastry. So, we cut the puff pastry sheet into three equal strips, we point out that with a ruler you will do it better.
- Next, we will put a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet, on top of the paper we must place the strips of puff pastry.
- Also, on top of the puff pastry we will put another sheet of paper.
- On top of the puff pastry we will also place another plate so that it does not rise.
- As you know, the puff pastry rises a lot and for this dessert it is better that it does not rise so much, for this reason we will do it this way.
- We assure you that it will be a crunchy and very good sheet of puff pastry!
- We put in the oven and leave it until the puff pastry is golden, approximately 15-20 minutes, everything will depend on the oven.
- We must point out that it is necessary to control at all times so that it does not burn us.
- When it’s golden we take it out and let it cool. We put a sheet in a serving dish.
- On top of it we cover with the creamthat we have prepared previously.
- On top we put another sheet of puff pastry and another layer of cream
