Bake puff pastry for 14 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

In a bowl, whisk egg whites with a pinch of salt and one third of the sugar until stiff peaks form.

In a separate pot, heat 1 liter of milk until boiling.

In a bowl, mix 1 cup of cold milk with egg yolks, remaining sugar, and flour.

Add vanilla sugar and rum to the egg yolk mixture and whisk until smooth.

Gradually add the hot milk to the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly.

Return the mixture to the pot and cook over low heat for 4-5 minutes until thickened, stirring constantly.

Combine the custard with the whipped egg whites gently.

Pour the custard over the cooled puff pastry and spread evenly.
