• 10 grams Icing sugar for dusting

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).

Step 2

Place the puff pastry sheets on lined baking trays and prick them all over with a fork to prevent excessive rising.

Step 3

Bake the pastry sheets for about 15 minutes or until golden and crispy. Allow them to cool completely.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the gelatin powder with 2 tablespoons of cold water and set aside to bloom.

Step 5

In a large saucepan, combine the protein powder, cornstarch, and granulated sugar.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the milk and egg yolks until smooth.

Step 7

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, whisking continuously, until it thickens and comes to a gentle boil.

Step 8

Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin, vanilla extract, and butter until fully incorporated.

Step 9

Allow the custard to cool slightly, then fold in the whipped cream until well combined.

Step 10

Trim the edges of the puff pastry sheets to fit a square or rectangular dish if necessary.

Step 11

Place one pastry sheet on the bottom of the dish, spread the custard evenly over it, and top with the second pastry sheet.

Step 12

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until set.

Step 13

Once set, dust with icing sugar, slice, and serve.
