This is a slight variation of what I make and everyone always raves about it… I find the guys esp seem to like it … I use 250ml cream and 100ml milk, Beat it for just a few minutes and it quickly sets in fridge by the time the pastry is ready.

Is fresh cream or dessert cream used ?
Louise
You can use either!

I think you can bake this a day in advance and put the pastry in an airtight container. I make th custard with Cream and milk about 2-3 hrs before I need them and then fill. Absolutely divine and quick

A winner! Tried it over last week-end and had to fight the kids off. As soon as cholesterol lowers I’ll make it again.
