I must confess that for this recipe I didn’t have much time available, so I used 2 ready ingredients or almost since I used an instant custard reconstituted only with the addition of milk and pre-made puff pastry sheets purchased at the supermarket.
Unfortunately, the latter, once removed from the package, were broken, and since the initial idea was to create a sort of “lasagna” layered dessert, I had to change everything and recreate an indeed deconstructed mille-feuille.
The creation was very simple, almost trivial, as it was enough to put the pieces of pastry inside a baking dish and then alternate them in various layers with the addition of custard and sliced strawberries. Finally, as the last layer, I decorated with more strawberries and some colored sugared balls.
The result was excellent, a pleasant dessert to enjoy after main meals or to entertain guests in the afternoon. Rest assured that it will be liked by many as it uses simple and well-known ingredients.

Steps
First, prepare the custard following the package instructions and then set aside in a bowl
Next, take a glass baking dish and spread a layer of cream with the help of a silicone spatula
Then, take the puff pastry package and place the first layer inside the dish by breaking up the sheet and covering the entire surface
At this point, cover with cream and add the strawberries cut into more or less thin slices
Continue forming a new layer with pastry, cream, and strawberries, repeating the same steps as before
Finally, when you have used up the ingredients, finish by decorating with strawberries on the entire surface and add, if you like, colored sugared balls
To complete, place the dish in the fridge and let it rest for at least 3 hours before consuming
Tip!
Of course, you can prepare your homemade custard if you want a more “homemade” result. You can do the same to create your own pastry sheets.
