Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F
Start by cooking the flaky crust. Roll out the pastry dough quite thinly then cut rectangles of desired size. Lay on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush with beaten egg with a pinch of salt. Put in the oven for about 15 minutes.

Prepare the white chocolate cream: In a bowl, combine eggs and sugar until light and pale then add the sifted flour. Boil the milk with the vanilla pod and pour over. Return to heat and cook until boiling. Remove from heat. Melt white chocolate in a bain marie (water bath) and then incorporate it into the mixture. Cool. Beat cream in very cold bowl and whip with 4tbsp sugar. Embed this whipped cream with the cooled mixture.

Step 2

Prepare the coulis: Mix strawberries with a few tablespoons of cold water and 2 Tbsp. sugar. Put in a saucepan and reduce until a syrupy preparation.

Assemble: add a layer of cream onto your pastry and top with strawberries.
