Step 4: Assemble the Layers

Place one cooled pastry sheet on a serving tray or board

Spread custard evenly over the top

Carefully place the second pastry sheet on top

Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours — this firms up the custard and makes slicing clean

Step 5: Slice & Serve

Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar

Use a sharp knife (dipped in hot water and wiped dry) to cut into even squares

Serve chilled — each bite is crisp, creamy, and unforgettable

Pro Tip: Wipe the knife between cuts for clean edges.

Fun Variations to Try
