Nested

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?

What would be the layer between the inner and outer pastries? If the only difference were shape, it would be too subtle for most to notice.

Glad you had an dream with positive interesting elements.

Evil ChefCat is not sure it will work, but is intrigued. He is on board with butter to prevent sticking and the necessity of freezing the little inner dudes.
