Preparation procedure

  • Baking the dough: Roll out the puff pastry (if it isn't already pre-rolled), lay it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake both sheets according to the package instructions (usually 180–200 °C for 10–15 minutes). Let cool.
  • Preparing the pudding filling: In a saucepan, mix the milk, pudding mixes and vanilla sugar. Cook a thick pudding and let it cool. Stir the softened butter and powdered sugar into the cooled pudding. Mix until smooth.
  • Assembly of the slices: Spread the pudding cream onto one sheet of pastry and spread it evenly. Top with the second sheet. Spread a thin layer of jam over the top layer and refrigerate for 2 hours to set.
  • Glaze: In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar, lemon juice, rum and hot water. Stir until a smooth, lump-free glaze forms. Apply the glaze to the chilled pastry.
  • Finishing: After the glaze has set, cut into slices with a sharp knife. Serve cold.
