Prepare the crema pastelera by whisking together the egg yolks, whole egg, milk, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat.

Cook the mixture while stirring continuously until it thickens, then remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.

Roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut them into strips.

Spread a layer of crema pastelera on each strip and sprinkle with uvas pasas.

Roll the strips into spirals to form the caracolas.

Place the caracolas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops with beaten egg and bake until golden brown.

Glaze with peach or apricot jam mixed with water after baking.
