Step 1

Start out by making the custard. To a mixing bowl, whisk together cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Then add all the yolks and beat until it gets lighter in color. Set aside.

Step 2

To a pot over medium heat, add the milk and vanilla extract. Combine together and heat it just until it starts to bubble on the edges. You do not want to boil it or it will be too hot.

Step 3

Take off the heat and slowly add a little in at a time to the batter. This is so you don't shock the egg yolks and cook them. Keep on slowly integrating the warm milk until it's all whisked in and very smooth.

Step 4

Then transfer back to the pot and heat over medium-low heat. Continuously whisk together for a few minutes until it starts to thicken up. Immediately take off the heat and add the butter. Mix together until the butter is melted in and incorporated. Transfer the custard to a bowl.

Step 5

Cover and pop in the fridge to chill.

Step 6

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make the egg wash. Set aside.

Step 8

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

Cut the two puff pastry sheets into 4 squares each so you have 8 pieces. You can also trim them to make the croissants smaller.

Step 10

Brush the sheets with egg wash and fold each one. Press down on the edges to ensure it doesn't rise and open too much. Brush the outside with egg wash now too.

Step 11

Pop in the oven to bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown all around.

Step 12

Take out of the oven and allow to cool to room temperature.

Step 13

Cut each croissant in half to open it up and fill it with the custard and sliced strawberries.

Step 14

Dust the tops with powdered sugar and enjoy!
