1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp cornflour
1 cup milk
2 Egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation

Firstly preheat oven to about 200C. Roll out 2 pastry sheets and cut into 4 squares each and lay onto 2 trays like the one below. Put into fridge.I re-use the baking sheets! After a few uses I chuck it away. This is the best baking paper I have used!! It's non stick :)


To make the custard:

Put the sugar and water into a saucepan and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to the boil and simmer for 2 minutes or until the mixture is slightly syrupy.
Mix the cornflour to a smooth paste with a little of the milk. Add the egg yolks and whisk until combined. Add remaining milk, vanilla and the sugar syrup. Return to the pan and stir over a low heat until the mixture thickens. Cool.
Take out prepared pastry sheets out of the fridge and carefully spoon cooled custard onto each of the pastry squares. Start spooning it from the middle of the square because the custard will flow outwards because of the consistency. And then fold from one corner of the pastry to the middle. Do the same for the opposite corner (like shown below). Brush top of pastry with melted butter.Pop the trays into the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown and puffy.

When it's done cool it for about 10 minutes.

Then with the mango cut some chunks and carefully make a slit into each end of the danishes and insert the mango pieces. It should look like the photo below.

* Buy a box of frozen puff pastry *

Take it from me that almost anything is good using puff pastry. Pastry cream and fruit will go great!
