Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Puff pastry sheets
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 50 g Almonds (sliced)
- 50 g Pistachios (chopped)
- 50 g Raisins
- 1 tsp Cinnamon powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Place the puff pastry sheets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F).
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Do not bring it to a boil.
Butter a large baking dish with the unsalted butter to ensure the pudding doesn't stick.
Break the cooled puff pastry into medium-sized pieces and layer them evenly in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the almonds, pistachios, and raisins over the puff pastry pieces, distributing them evenly.
Pour the warm milk and cream mixture over the puff pastry and nuts, ensuring all the pastry pieces are soaked.
Dust the top with cinnamon powder for added flavor and aroma.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
