    Cut the cookies with the appropriate shapes and gently arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Bake at 340°F (170°C) for about 10 minutes, they are ready when the cookie edges start to turn slightly golden.

    Remove from the oven, let cool.

  • Open the vanilla pod and extract the seeds.

    Bring the soy beverage with the empty vanilla pod to a boil.

    Beat the yolks with the sugar, the extracted seeds, and finally the cornstarch.

    Once boiling, add the egg mixture to the soy beverage.

    Cook for about 1 minute, stirring with a whisk.

    Quickly cool the cream in a cold water bath, or in the freezer, after covering it with plastic wrap in contact.

  • Spread a teaspoon of custard on egg-shaped cookies.

    Dust the other cookies with powdered sugar.
