1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F.
2
To prepare the cream, beat the 2 eggs with the sugar; add the cornstarch mixed with the milk and incorporate it. Simmer this mixture while whisking for a few minutes; it will thicken. Once thickened, turn the heat off and add the butter in small cubes, then the almonds and vanilla powder, and then the rum. Mix well.
3
Mix the egg yolk with 1 Tbs. milk.
4
Place one disk of the puff pastry on a buttered oven sheet; evenly spread the cream on it up to 1/2 inch of the edge; spread the border with a little of the yolk/milk mixture. Cover with the second disk of puff pastry and press the edges to close it up. Decorate with a knife to make designs on the pastry, if desired. Brush the top with the yolk/milk mixture.
5
Bake for 40-45 minutes. Serve warm.
