Pour white glaze over the surface of the strip, spreading it evenly with an offset spatula. Take one of the cooled pastry strips and flip it over. Alternatively, you can use a Ziploc bag with the tip cut off.

Spoon the chocolate glaze into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Transfer 1/4 of the glaze to a separate bowl and whisk in cocoa powder to create the chocolate glaze. Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach a consistency that is pourable, but still thick. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, corn syrup, and melted butter. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. After that, remove the baking sheet and bake for 6 more minutes, or until pastry strips are golden brown. Then, place a baking sheet directly on top of them and bake for an additional 6 minutes. Transfer the puff pastry strips, with the parchment paper, onto baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm. Prick the strips all over their surface with a fork. Using a pizza wheel, cut the square into three 12x4 inch strips. Place both sheets of thawed puff pastry on top of one another on the piece of parchment paper. Cut a piece of parchment paper as large as the baking sheet you will be using. (Make sure the plastic wrap is touching the surface of the pastry cream so it doesn't form a skin) Transfer pastry cream to a heat-proof bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 hours, or overnight. Remove from heat and whisk in diced butter. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until mixture is thick and bubbly. Once the milk mixture has been completely incorporated into the egg mixture, return the mixture back to the saucepan. Slowly add heated milk mixture to the egg yolks, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly and vigorously to ensure the egg yolks do not curdle. In a medium saucepan, heat milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt until simmering. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together egg yolks and cornstarch until well-combined. Pinch of vanilla powder (or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract)įirst, prepare the pastry cream.
