Instructions

1. Whisk the milk, cornstarch, sugar and salt in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it starts to thicken.
2. Whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl. Add one ladle of the hot milk mixture slowly while whisking to temper them.
3. Pour the yolks back into the saucepan and cook, stirring continuously, for another 2–3 minutes until thick.
4. Off the heat, stir in the heavy cream, vanilla and cubed butter until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, press plastic wrap onto the surface and chill completely.
5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment.
6. Cut each puff pastry sheet into 5-inch squares. Pipe a thick diagonal line of chilled custard across each square, corner to corner.
7. Top the custard line with pitted cherries. Fold two opposite corners over the filling so they overlap and seal.
8. Arrange on the sheets, brush with heavy cream and lightly sprinkle with granulated sugar.
9. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Cool slightly, then dust with confectioners' sugar.
