- 16.9 floz (½ liter) milk
- 1 egg yolk or 2-3 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp heavy cream

Directions
- Unfold one of the squares of puff pastry dough.
- Cut down the fold lines to make three strips (use a pizza cutter.) Then cut each strip into thirds. You should have nine squares total.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Place one square of dough on the parchment, the filling will go in the middle.
- Pull up the corners of the dough and pinch together at the top. It’s ok if the filling is still showing on the sides
- Repeat for the remaining squares.
- Repeat the process for the second sheet of puff pastry.
- Drain cherries but keep the juice.
- Mix starch well with 4 tbsp of the juice.
- Mix remaining juice with sugar in a pan, add starch and bring it to a while while stirring. Add cherries, then set aside.
- Mix pudding powder with 6 tbsp milk; bring remaining milk and sugar to a boil, add pudding powder and bring it again to a boil.
- On the middle of each pastry place pudding and on top add 1 tbsp of cherries.
- Mix egg yolk with heavy cream and brush it on the dough.
- Bake in pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes on 375 F.
- Let them cool off then dust them with powdered sugar.
- Serve them with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream or enjoy them just as they are.
