Prepare Pastry Shells
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut your thawed puff pastry into 6 equal squares, creating a smaller scored square inside each to form a border.
- Brush the outer edges with egg wash, sprinkle granulated sugar on top, and bake for 15–18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Let cool before gently pressing down the centers.
Make Custard
- In a saucepan, heat 2 cups of whole milk over medium heat until steaming.
- In a bowl, whisk together 3 egg yolks, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually whisk in the hot milk, then return the mixture to the saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and chill until ready to use.
Assemble Pastries
- Fill each cooled pastry shell with a generous spoonful of custard.
- Top artfully with a mix of fresh berries.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired and garnish with fresh mint.

Notes
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Chill the custard completely before filling to maintain texture.
