Vanilla Cream Squares: The Successful Puff Pastry Recipe

    • Chocolate version  : replace part of the cream with dark chocolate ganache.
    • Coconut version  : Add grated coconut to the cream for an exotic touch.
    • Non-alcoholic version  : omit the rum and add a hint of orange blossom.

    What should I do if my cream is too runny?
    I need to cook it longer until it thickens. Otherwise, add a little cornstarch.

    3. Can I substitute the rum?
    Of course. It’s optional. Almond or orange blossom essence is ideal.

    4. Is the recipe suitable for children?
    Yes, it’s alcohol-free. It’s sweet and loved by younger children.

    5. How to store the squares?
    In the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for up to 3 days.

    6. Can this dessert be frozen?
    Not recommended due to the cream and puff pastry, which loses its texture.

    7. Can I prepare it the day before?
    Absolutely. It’s even better after a few hours of resting.
