Pear and cream strudel

To prepare a delicious layered cake with pear filling, follow the detailed steps I provide, which will transform your kitchen into a place full of aromas and flavors.

1. Start by thawing the pastry sheets. It is essential that they remain very cold for easy handling. Place the sheets on the work surface and cut each sheet in half, resulting in four pieces. From two of them, cut grill shapes, creating an appealing look for the final dish.

2. Next, prepare the pudding according to the instructions on the package. In a bowl, mix the pudding powder with water, add the vanilla sugar and the three tablespoons of sugar. Boil the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Once the pudding is ready, let it cool completely to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.

3. Meanwhile, peel the pears and cut them into small cubes. They will add a sweet-sour note to the dish, so make sure they are ripe but not too soft, to maintain their shape and consistency.

4. In a pan, caramelize the margarine with the remaining five tablespoons of sugar. Stir constantly to avoid burning. When the caramel takes on a light color, add the pear cubes and continue cooking the mixture over medium heat. It is important to stir occasionally, so that the pears are evenly coated with caramel. Cook until all the syrup evaporates and the caramel becomes thick again. Once done, let the mixture cool.

5. Assembling the cake is done carefully. Place a baking tray lined with parchment paper and put the two uncut pastry sheets at the bottom. Evenly distribute the pudding on top of the sheets, followed by the caramelized pear cubes. Cover everything with the grill sheets, pressing the edges to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.

6. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the tray in the oven and bake the cake until the sheets become golden and crispy. It is recommended to place a pan with water underneath the tray to maintain humidity in the oven, so the sheets will rise and brown evenly.

Wait patiently for it to cool slightly before cutting and serving the cake. Enjoy each slice, savoring the perfect combination of creamy pudding and caramelized pears, all wrapped in delicious sheets! Enjoy your meal!
