Delícia Puff Pastry — Teleculinária Pastry-Cream Version

This version published by Teleculinária retains Delícia's rectangular form, puff pastry and icing sugar but uses milk-based pastry cream made with egg and yolks. Fabrico Próprio's reference describes sweet egg cream, so this page presents the recipe as a documented contemporary variant, not a replacement for the reference formula.
