Ingredients
- 250 g Puff pastry sheets
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 50 g Almonds (sliced)
- 50 g Pistachios (chopped)
- 50 g Raisins
- 1 tsp Cinnamon powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Place the puff pastry sheets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Step 3
Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F).
Step 4
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Do not bring it to a boil.
Step 5
Butter a large baking dish with the unsalted butter to ensure the pudding doesn't stick.
Step 6
Break the cooled puff pastry into medium-sized pieces and layer them evenly in the baking dish.
Step 7
Sprinkle the almonds, pistachios, and raisins over the puff pastry pieces, distributing them evenly.
Step 8
Pour the warm milk and cream mixture over the puff pastry and nuts, ensuring all the pastry pieces are soaked.
Step 9
Dust the top with cinnamon powder for added flavor and aroma.
Step 10
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbling.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
