How to make it
- Unfold 1 puff pastry sheet and gently roll it out into a 12 inch piece with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface. Place it into a large buttered baking sheet, and prick it all over with a fork. Trim any overhang of the pastry with a knife.
- Cut each sheet into rectangular pieces measuring 3 x 1.5 inches. Sprinkle them with sugar and then bake in a heated oven at 350° F until the pastry is puffed and golden (approx 15 minutes). Let it cool on the racks.
- To prepare the Chantilly Cream:
- Boil the milk being careful to not burn it.
- Whisk the egg yolk and sugar, add the flour and continue to mix. Pour in part of the hot milk in order to obtain a smooth cream. Add the vanilla stick, allowing it to aromatize the mixture and add the remaining milk very slowly.
- Cook over moderate heat and keep mixing until it is thickened. Let it cool quickly. Whip the cream and add it to the Chantilly Cream.
- On the serving plate, spread part of the cooled pastry cream mixture over one puff pastry cake base. Make a second layer, repeating the previous step.
- Cover it with a third puff pastry cake. Decorate the top and the plate with cubed strawberries, and powdered sugar
