Kirsch Cherry Millefeuille
Makes 8
Prep time: 1 hour
Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- 120g icing sugar
- 1 jar Opies Black Cherries with Luxardo® Kirsch, syrup reserved

For the crème pâtissière:
- 250ml Milk
- 3 egg yolks
- 50g caster sugar
- 20g plain flour
- 25g cornflour
- 1 vanilla pod
- 150ml double cream
- 125g icing sugar, sifted

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan / gas 6. Unroll the pastry onto lined baking sheets. Prick with a fork and place baking parchment on top to prevent pastry rising too high. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Remove, cool completely then slice to create 24 even rectangles, discarding any excess.
2. To make the crème pâtissière. Heat the milk in a pan until almost boiling. Meanwhile cream the egg yolks and caster sugar together in a medium bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of hot milk, flour and cornflour, mix thoroughly. Slowly pour in the remaining hot milk, beating as you go.
3. Return the mixture to the pan, slit the vanilla pod lengthways, remove the seeds and add to the mixture, stirring all the time. Remove from the heat, remove the pod then cover with cling film and leave to cool completely. Once chilled, beat until smooth.
4. Whip the cream until stiff then add to the crème pâtissière. Place into a piping bag, snip a hole in the end then pipe in long lines across 16 of the pastry rectangles and top with some cherries. Stack so you have 8 stacks of 2.
5. Set aside 2 tablespoons of icing sugar then mix the rest with a little reserved kirsch syrup until thick. Pour over the remaining 8 pastry rectangles. Mix the remaining icing sugar with water until thick then drizzle over the pink icing in thin straight lines. Use a cocktail stick to drag opposite lines through to create a pattern. Leave to set slightly then place on top of your stacks and chill before serving.
