A family friend, who has just turned 101 years old, used to make these. They taste absolutely heavenly. So smooth and creamy.

Hello Eddy,
I need your help please,
When you say pastry of your choice, could you tell me which one that you use?
Thank you!
Hi Natalia, you really don't need to use pastry for these, the ones on the picture for this recipe don't, it's entirely up to the person.
