Ingredients:
- 385ml milk
- 250ml cream
- 2 Tetley Masala Chai tea bags
- 40g cornflour
- 110g sugar
- 1 egg plus 1 yolk
- 40g butter
- Readymade puff pastry
- Icing sugar, for dusting
Method:
- Prepare the puff pastry by cutting it into the desired size and shape, then bake in an oven preheated to 200°C for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove the pastry from the oven, then allow it to cool while preparing the custard.
- To make the Masala Chai Custard, in a bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and cornflour until pale.
- In a saucepan, gently heat the milk and cream with the Tetley Masala Chai tea bags until it’s just about to simmer, then gently pour it into the egg mixture while whisking continuously.
- Once fully incorporated, add it back into the saucepan and on medium heat, continue to whisk until it has thickened.
- Add the butter and whisk until incorporated, then cover with cling film and allow to cool completely.
- To assemble, slit the puff pastries in half, then on one half pipe the custard, sprinkle with coconut, then cover with the other half, ending with a dusting of icing sugar.
- Enjoy!
