For 15 portions

Ingredients

Dough:

1 package of puff pastry

Cream:

250 ml milk
200 ml whipping cream
2 egg yolks
90 g granulated sugar
2 tablespoons corn starch
grated lemon zest

To finish:

powdered sugar for dusting

Preparation procedure

Cream: In a bowl, whisk the yolks with the sugar. Add the corn starch and lemon zest, pour in the milk and mix thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and, stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Cook until it thickens into a smooth cream. Pour into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let cool completely.
Dough: Divide the puff pastry into two halves. Cut the first half into 15 squares. Leave the second half whole and prick it with a fork. Bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper at 180 °C for about 20 minutes, until the pastry is golden.
Whipped cream: Divide the whipping cream into two parts: Whip the first part until stiff and place it into a piping bag. Fold the second part into the cooled cream, creating a smooth and fluffy filling.
Assembly: Spread the cream onto the baked sheet of puff pastry, pipe mounds of whipped cream on top with a piping bag. Place the baked pastry squares on top. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so the slices can set.
Finishing: Before serving, dust the kremeš with powdered sugar.
