In a large saucepan, whisk together milk, sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks until smooth.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency. This will take about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract and butter until smooth.
💡 Επαγγελματικές Συμβουλές: Continuous stirring is key to prevent scorching and ensure even thickening. - 5
Pour the custard into a bowl. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Once the custard is chilled and the pastry base is cool, spread the custard evenly over the baked pastry. Arrange the cherries on top of the custard.

Unroll the second sheet of puff pastry and place it over the cherries and custard. Trim any excess pastry. You can score a decorative pattern on top if desired. Bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the top pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
