For an extra touch of elegance, dust the finished slice with cocoa powder or add a layer of fresh berries between the pastry and custard. To prevent the pastry from becoming soggy, make sure the custard has cooled slightly before assembling the slice. If you're short on time, use store-bought custard, but homemade is always best! Make sure to dock the puff pastry well before baking to prevent excessive puffing.
