Ingredients:
- 2 packets of vanilla pudding mix
- 100g sugar
- 1L milk
- 360g butter
- A pinch of salt
- 200g flour
- 6 medium eggs
- 300g blueberries
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Mix the vanilla pudding mix with sugar. Blend smoothly with 200ml of milk. Bring 800ml of milk to a boil. Stir in the pudding mixture and simmer for about 1 minute while stirring.
- Transfer the pudding into a bowl. Cover the surface directly with cling film to prevent a skin from forming and let it cool.
For the choux pastry: 3. Heat 125ml water, a pinch of salt, and 80g butter in a pot until the butter is melted. Bring to a boil. Swiftly stir in the flour. Continue heating and stirring until a white layer forms on the bottom of the pot.
- Transfer the dough to a bowl. Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the dough. Spread the dough evenly onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (fan) for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool. Repeat this process for the second layer of choux pastry.
For the cream: 5. Whip 200g of room-temperature butter until it's white and creamy. Gradually mix in the cooled pudding. Wash the blueberries, let them drain, and fold 200g of them into the cream. Spread the cream over the first layer of pastry, then carefully place the second layer on top. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Dust the cake with powdered sugar, cut into slices, and garnish with the remaining 100g of blueberries.
Enjoy this luxurious blend of creamy pudding and fresh blueberries, encased in a light choux pastry, for a dessert that promises to be a delightful centerpiece at any gathering.
