Ingredients to prepare sweet puff pastry baskets

How to prepare sweet puff pastry baskets

Let’s start preparing the sweet puff pastry baskets. First, make the custard by pouring the egg yolks into a saucepan, adding the sugar, and whisking until the mixture is smooth and pale.
Add the cornstarch and mix well to avoid lumps,
add the milk in two batches and incorporate it with the remaining ingredients.
Add the grated peel of an untreated lemon,
bring to a simmer, constantly stirring to avoid sticking, until the custard thickens smoothly. Let it cool to room temperature.
Take the puff pastry, position it with the longer side in front of you, and cut it into 6 rectangles.
Make L-shaped cuts on each rectangle, leaving two corners intact for about 3/4 inch on each side,
take the right flap and bring it to the opposite side, overlapping it slightly, and do the same with the left side.
Place the custard in the center of each rectangle and bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 20 minutes.
After baking, remove the puff pastries filled with custard, add the blueberries,
the raspberries,
and some sliced almonds,
dust with powdered sugar,
and serve.
