To begin, preheat your oven to 400°F. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and cut it into 6 equal rectangles. Place the rectangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the pastry is baking, prepare the custard. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Once the pastry has cooled, cut each rectangle in half horizontally to create 12 pieces. Place a dollop of custard on the bottom half of each pastry piece and top with the other half. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
