Ingredients

• 3 sheets Sugar-free puff pastry sheets
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 4 Large egg yolks
• 0.5 cup Sugar substitute (such as erythritol or stevia)
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the sugar-free puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface until each sheet is about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 3

Cut each sheet into equal-sized rectangles, approximately 4x3 inches. You should have around 18 rectangles.

Step 4

Place the rectangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Prick each piece with a fork to prevent excessive puffing.

Step 5

Place another parchment sheet over the puff pastry, then place another baking sheet on top to weigh it down.

Step 6

Bake the pastry for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.

Step 7

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and half of the sugar substitute. Stir until the sugar substitute dissolves, then bring to a simmer.

Step 8

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, salt, egg yolks, and remaining sugar substitute until smooth.

Step 9

While whisking constantly, slowly add a third of the hot milk mixture into the yolk mixture to temper the eggs.

Step 10

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk. Cook over medium heat while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to boil.

Step 11

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap directly touching the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill for at least an hour in the refrigerator.

Step 12

Once cooled, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold into the chilled pastry cream until smooth.

Step 13

To assemble, layer one rectangle of puff pastry with a generous amount of pastry cream, spread evenly.

Step 14

Add another layer of puff pastry, another layer of cream, and finally top with a third layer of puff pastry.

Step 15

Repeat for the remaining pastries. Serve immediately or chill for another hour to help them firm up before serving.
