heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface until thin.

Cut circles from the pastry and fit them into muffin tins, pressing to form cups.

In a saucepan, combine milk, cream, and sugar over medium heat until warm.

Whisk egg yolks in a bowl, then slowly add the warm milk mixture while stirring.

Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, and lemon zest to the mixture and stir well.

Pour the custard mixture into the pastry cups, filling them about 3/4 full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the tops are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Dust with powdered sugar or cinnamon if desired.
