Preparation procedure

  • Dough preparation (choux–pâte à choux) a) In a saucepan bring the water with salt and butter to a boil. Add the flour and, stirring constantly, form a smooth mass that pulls away from the sides. b) Let it cool slightly, then mix in the eggs one at a time. Divide the dough into two parts.
  • Baking the layers a) Preheat the oven to 200 °C. b) Roll out both halves of the dough separately on baking sheets lined with parchment paper into rectangles. c) Bake each layer for 15 min, until lightly golden. Let cool.
  • Vanilla cream a) In a saucepan mix the milk, sugar and pudding mixes. Cook into a thick pudding, stirring constantly. Let cool slightly. b) Whisk the softened butter into the warm pudding until smooth. Spread over the first layer of dough.
  • Fruit filling a) Mix the fruit with the sugar and simmer briefly until they release their juices. b) Stir in the starch dissolved in a little water and cook until thickened. Let cool completely. c) Layer over the vanilla cream.
  • Whipped cream and finishing a) Whip the cream to stiff peaks. Spread it evenly over the fruit layer. b) Cover with the second sheet of dough and press lightly. c) Chill for at least 1 h to set. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar.
