1
For the custard filling: Place the cream and milk in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Place the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract and custard powder in a large bowl and whisk together until smooth.
2
Pour the hot milk and cream over the egg mixture whisking continuously. Leave to cool.
3
Preheat the oven to 200C/400f/gas 6. Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat. Cut the puff pastry in half and roll one piece out on a lightly floured work surface until you have a rectangular sheet measuring 12 x 8 inches. Carefully place into a rectangular pan measuring 11 x 7 in and about 2 inches deep. Prick the base all over with a fork. Spread the cooled custard into the tin and then arrange the cherries on top.
4
Roll out the remaining piece of pastry to a 12x6-inch rectangle. Brush the edges of the pastry with a little milk and then lay the other sheet of pastry over the top of the filling and press down gently to seal.
5
Brush the top with more milk and sprinkle with the granulated sugar. Place the tin in the fridge to chill for 15 minutes.
6
Before placing in the oven make incisions in the pastry with a sharp knife to reveal the filling. Place the pie on the preheated baking tray and bake for 10 minutes then reduce the temperature to 325u00b0F/160u00b0C and continue to bake for a further 45 minutes until the pastry is golden and cooked through.
7
Leave to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan then serve warm or cold cut into squares.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
