A weird dream this morning ended with my discovering that an unbroken puff pastry contained small custard-filled puff pastries, sort of like the miniature cream puffs that one can buy.

This leads me to wonder if it might actually be feasible?  Freeze the little custard-filled things solid, put them inside puff pastry dough, bake quickly?  As with Baked Alaska and deep-fried ice cream, rely on the freezing of the centre to keep it from change while the outside is cooked?

Exactly. Yes, I think one would want to coat the inner pastries in something to prevent sticking -- butter would be a good thing to try.
