How to make Buttery Crisp Italian Cream filled Cannoncini:
Step 1. Place the milk into a saucepan over medium heat, and get hot but do not boil it.
Step 2. In a bowl, combine the egg yolks, flour, ½ cup sugar, and vanilla extract.

Step 3. Carefully place a bit of the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, and whisk quickly to combine.

Step 5. Simmer to a low boil over medium heat until it reaches a thick consistency.
Step 6. Remove from the heat and pour into a container.

Step 7. Place a layer of plastic wrap over the top of the custard filling, actually touching the top of it, and chill for a minimum of 1 hour.

Step 8. In the meantime, heat the oven to 400 degrees, and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 9. Add a layer of granulated sugar to the countertop, and place the puff pastry sheet on top. Place another thin layer of sugar on top of the pastry too.
Step 10. Slice the puff pastry sheet into 12 thin strips that are 1 inch wide.

Step 11. Roll the strips of dough over cone-shaped molds.

Step 12. Lay the covered molds on the baking sheet.

Then, brush with the egg.

Step 13. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

Step 15. Pipe with the custard filling once it has set.

Then, garnish with powdered sugar before serving.
