Krémes🍰 Krémes – The Famous Hungarian Custard Slice 🇭🇺✨
2️⃣ Make the Vanilla Custard
In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and ½ cup of milk until smooth.
Heat the remaining milk in a saucepan until it just starts to simmer.
Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture while whisking continuously.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook on low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a creamy custard (about 3-5 minutes).
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and let it cool.
(Optional) Gently fold in whipped cream for an extra airy texture.
3️⃣ Assemble the Krémes
Place one baked pastry sheet in a baking dish.
Spread the custard filling evenly over the pastry.
Carefully place the second pastry sheet on top.
Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors set.
4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
Dust the top generously with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice into squares using a sharp knife (wipe the blade between cuts for clean slices).
🍽️ Storage & Tips
✔ Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. ✔ Serve chilled for the best texture. ✔ For a more traditional version, some people prefer a firmer custard, while others like it lighter with whipped cream—you can adjust based on your preference!
