Ingredients

2 Sheets Puff Pastry, thawed

375 mls Milk

375 mls Thickened Cream

60 g Unsalted butter

2 teaspoon Vanilla

99 g Natvia

50 g Cornflour

125 mls Water

6 Egg Yolks

10 Threads Saffron

Blitzed Natvia for serving

Method

Preheat oven to 180C. Grease and line a 20cm x 20cm Cake tin.
Place the thawed pastry sheets on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Place another baking sheet on top of the pastry and an additional baking tray on top to use as a weight. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack and then cut the sheets into a 20cm by 20cm square.
Place the milk, saffron, cream, butter, vanilla and Natvia in a saucepan over a medium heat. Cook until just boiling.
Combine the cornflour and water together, whisk until smooth.
Add the cornflour mixture to the saucepan along with the egg yolks. Return to the heat while whisking. Bring to the boil and cook for around 1 minute or until thickened.
Place one of the pastry sheets in the base of the prepared tin. Top with the custard and finish with the remaining pastry sheet.
Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until set. Dust with blitzed Natvia before serving.
