heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: phyllo dough

💰Cheaper: homemade pastry dough

Phyllo dough is lighter and can be lower in calories.

Grease pans and cut 4 sheets of puff pastry to size.

Brush puff pastry with a little butter.

Cut guidelines into the pastry but don't cut all the way through.

Bake in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 minutes.

In a medium pot, add 2 cups of milk and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract; simmer gently on low heat.

Separate 5 eggs, using the yolks in a bowl with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of flour.

In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with 1/4 cup of sugar until stiff peaks form.

Once the milk mixture is boiling, add the egg yolk mixture while continuously stirring to prevent scrambling.

Use an electric mixer to smooth out any lumps in the custard mixture.

Fold in 1 cup of whipping cream and 2 tablespoons of icing sugar into the custard.

Layer the filling on top of the baked pastry and dust with icing sugar before serving.

Refrigerate for a couple of hours until cool.
