Pour in the boiling milk in which you have added a little vanilla or a little grated lemon peel a little at a time, always stirring. Place on the stove, continue stirring, simmer for 3-4 minutes. Do not exceed 82 ° in temperature. The correct temperature is 84-85 ° C, but it is advisable not to exceed 82 °, because the cream will continue to cook even once it has been removed from the heat; therefore remove it from the fire when you reach 82 °. In this way you will get a smooth custard without unpleasant hints of cooked egg. Pour it into a bowl, cover with cling film and let it cool completely.

Stir and cook for a few minutes, until the fruit is soft. Blend it with an immersion blender inside a container with high sides. Then filter the mixture obtained through a tightly meshed sieve, in order to remove any impurities and seeds. Let it cool down.

Cut the sheets to obtain 3 single-portion rectangles for each piece, for a total of 12 sheets. Place a base on a plate and form tufts of custard that you have transferred into a pastry bag with a 13 mm smooth nozzle.

Proceed in this way until all the ingredients are used up in order to obtain a total of 4 single-portion millefeuille. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with the remaining coulis.
