Step 2
Then spread into molds, prick with a fork and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Step 3
After covering the cake with parchment, put a weight on top and bake at 190 degrees for 15 minutes. Then let it cool down.
Step 4
For the cream, combine the yolks with the sugar in a bowl and beat with a mixer. Add the vanilla sugar, starch, pour in the milk and mix until smooth. Pour the mixture into a saucepan, place on the stove and stir until thickened. Then add the butter, stir, let the cream cool and fill the cake.
